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 Learnsoft-issued PD credits (formerly PDE3-issued credits) for salary step movement in the HIDOE Teacher Reclassification system. Please note that this graduate-level PD course is not available through the HIDOE Learnsoft system. Since these are graduate-level PD credits, coursework will only be reviewed by UMass Global instructors and does not require submission to Learnsoft for further review.
Upon completion, your 3-PD credits will be issued directly by UMass Global. For more details on using university or college credits for salary reclassification, please refer to the Hawai'i State DOE "Guidelines for Reclassification" memo: click here.
