Field Descriptions

Professional development days for the year are loaded from these fields, corresponding to the three categories of Professional Development days (see the MEIS Registry of Educational Personnel Data Field Descriptions documentation for details). The user may update the days throughout the year or enter or load the total days at the end of the year. You cannot calculate these days using any data currently stored in the database.

If you use the New Teacher Professional Development page to maintain professional development days throughout the year, you must enter zero in all the fields after the Registry of Educational Personnel (REP) file is loaded but before using them to store any data for the new fiscal year.

You can also upload professional development days to the New Teacher Professional Development page through an interface.

The professional development days are only reported in the June submission.
