Classification and Compensation

Meet with an advisor (this may be a coach, administrator, or supervisor) to set professional learning goals and plan the professional learning opportunities in which you will engage. If you are working towards applying your professional learning units towards your continuing education units (CEUs) , please 1) fill out SFUSD Annual Professional Learning Plan and Activities Record with signature from advisor, then please upload your professional learning plan for pre-approval. These hours will be reviewed by a member of the Classification and Compensation team.

• Activities completed before submitting for pre-approval are not eligible, except for CTA-approved courses from CSU Chico and units obtained through induction
• Items such as reading a book or magazine on your own or participating in a club or PD that is not relevant to education will not be approved.
• Educators cannot claim participation in the same activity more than once
• Participation hours must be outside of the contract day, and the employee should not receive payment such as 18 PD hours, extended hours, or stipends for participating. 

Once you have received approval, complete all professional learning activities and update your learning plan with the proof of completion and submit it to the same form.

1. The Class and Comp team will review the documentation and transcripts to confirm credits (semester/quarter) and acceptable professional development hours.
2. Your ticket will be updated for updates.

The Class and Comp team will process the request and update the employee profile (pay scale grade change, if applicable - see timing below):

The timing of changes, consistent with past practice and our contractual obligation, is year-round for university credits and two effective dates for professional development hours.
