Administrators,
Lead Teachers, and Assistant Teachers must complete at least 20 hours of
approved specialized training each biennium to achieve and maintain the
Professional Development Certificate for Step Up To Quality (SUTQ). The
training must be Ohio Approved by the Ohio Professional Registry in order to
count. For ODE preschool programs that provide training for staff through
their Local Professional Development Committee (LPDC), the Office of Early
Learning and School Readiness has established new criteria for this training to
be as Ohio Approved credit.
The following
is the list of criteria:
- Administrators,
lead teachers, and assistant teachers with an Individual Professional
Development Plan (IPDP) can earn credit for training completed at the local level approved
by the individual’s LPDC.
- Instructor
must have a minimum of a BA for training approval. Training must be
related to the age group served by the individual and with a focus on one
of the Early Learning Development Standards or Core Knowledge and
Competencies.
- A Professional
Development LPDC Registry Form must be completed and a certificate of
completion (which includes the signature of the instructor) uploaded to
the staff member’s OPR profile.
- Completed
forms (Professional Development LPDC Registry Form and a certificate of
completion or attendance) must be submitted to OPR. At the completion of the
verification process, approved hours will be reflected in the
professional’s Registry Profile.
- Child Abuse, Communicable Disease, First Aid, CPR, and general Health & Safety courses or staff meetings or development will not be considered for approval for SUTQ professional development.
