What activities are appropriate for Career Ladder?
Career Ladder plans are professional documents. In selecting responsibilities as part of an individual plan, participants should only select those responsibilities which exceed the norm for the profession. To be appropriate for Career Ladder, all acceptable professional activities must directly and obviously relate to the programs and services for students as outlined in the district’s curriculum development plan, professional development plan, district school improvement plan, or instructional improvement. Professional activities should be related to academics and should be emphasized in the individual plans. All approved logged hours must be performed outside contracted time; the activity must not be part of the educator’s contracted duties and the educator can receive no compensation for the activity from any source.
