Information about PD Credits for Hawai'i State DOE participants:
Hawai'i State DOE educators can use these graduate level PD credits in place of PDE3 credits for salary step movement in the HIDOE's Teacher Reclassification system. Please note that this graduate level PD course is not located in the PDE3 system. Graduate level PD-credits instead of PDE3-credits means that coursework will only be reviewed by UMass course instructors and will not need to be submitted to PDE3 for further review. 3-PD credits will be issued to you directly from UMass Global. For more information about using university/college credits towards salary reclassification, please see the following Hawaii State DOE "Guidelines for Reclassification" memo: click here.
If you are a Hawai'i State DOE educator, please download and print the 200-005 Form for university credits, and have it signed by your school's Principal. To apply your 3 graduate level PD-credits to salary step movement, you can simply submit your 200-005 form to the DOE's Reclassification Unit along with your UMass transcript once you complete the course.
