Please wait for another communication from NCDPI that will notify when principals and other designated staff may begin setting 2019-2020 Teacher Plan Types and PDP Types under My Staff.
NOTE: Reminder when these are available to set to set both the Teacher Plan Type and the PDP Type at the same time and the system will configure the correct observation rubrics to match the staff role. Principal Plans will again be system assigned. Principals do NOT get PDPs assigned to them.
NCDPI would like to thank all our NC school leaders, educators and support staff for all you do! Thank you for a great 2018-2019 School Year. Looking forward to beginning 2019-2020!

Housing PD Opportunities in NCEES
Date: Tuesday, July 16, 2019
Time: 4-5PM
Description: This session will show PD District Administrators how to utilize a NCEES Professional Development Office to house all types of differentiated staff PD Learning Opportunities. Keep track of rosters, sign-in sheets, attendance, credit types and more to award staff CEU credits, a certificate recorded to staff NCEES transcripts. Don’t pay for a third party system if your district is opted-in to Home Base for 2019-2020. Home Base includes a District PD Office. Plus learn how those credits can transfer into HRMS. Our review will include an overview of PD Playlists and Transfer Credit Manager.

Online Professional Development Sources
NCDPI often receives inquiries on how staff that are not in the NCEES system can access PD opportunities within the NCEES catalog.
The online professional modules offered by NCDPI are in Home Base/NCEES. Access to online PD in the Home Base system is managed through an active employee ID Number, so only current employees of North Carolina Public School Districts or Charter Schools can access Home Base.
There is no mechanism for others to access and hence use the educator resources housed in the Home Base system.
Here are a few sites that may help staff search for PD outside of NCEES. The first source is free of cost....others may have a charge associated.
NOTE: not all of these listings are endorsed by NCDPI - check and vette any searches to find what best meets credit needs. Follow local professional developemnt policy on approval processes. Some districts require prior approval before participating in credit earning PD.

Staff Access to NCEES Statement
The NCDPI contract with the vendor of the NC Educator Effectiveness System (NCEES) has a specified number of users.
For this reason, access to the Evaluation and Professional Learning module within Home Base is limited mainly to current certified employees of North Carolina Public School Districts and Charter Schools.
Identity Access Management (IAM) helps maintain the threshold of our license agreement. User accounts in the Home Base NCEES PD System are verified, through IAM, using an active employee ID number and a payroll code. These codes allow the system to guide the assignment of rubrics to appropriate roles in the evaluation module and to collect/maintain credit transcript information from the PD system.
There are many licensed educators in NC with interest in using the NCEES PD system. Unfortunately granting access to them (retired teachers, long-term subs, etc.) would exceed the quota of users within our license agreement. For this reason, there is no mechanism for them to access the educator resources housed in the Home Base/NCEES PD system.
Your district may have recent retirees, long-term subs, or other contracted roles to whom this applies. If you receive access requests from such individuals, please advise them of this limitation.
Please review this document, NCEES DATA v6, for a listing of which certified staff according to paycode/role would provision into NCEES access. There is one classified salary object code 153 (from the Chart of Accounts) that for the role of NCEES Administrative Specialist provisions classified staff into NCEES. Per NCDPI School Business that is the only classified code to access NCEES at this time.
