Professional Development (EDPD) Incentive Plan
The incentive plan approved by the College of Charleston's Board of Trustees in July 2003 was revised as shown in item "b" below at its summer 2008 meeting. To take advantage of the incentive plan, school districts would need to be prepared to address the criteria stated below. Teach three courses that are managed by the College of Charleston OPDE. A fourth course (to be offered immediately, if possible) will be facilitated without a per participant fee assessed if the following conditions are met:
- All courses to be counted toward the incentive plan must be ones for which the educational funding agency pays a per participant fee.
- All courses to be credited in the incentive plan must have a minimum enrollment of 20 students or average 60 students over three fee payment courses.
- If an instructor salary is assessed to the free course, the responsibility of the salary will rest with the contracting school, district, or agency. The College of Charleston will absorb the ($35.00, $70.00, or $105.00) per participant fee only. Maximum enrollment may not exceed 25 students per class in free incentive courses.
- The school district or agency must use the incentive course(s) immediately (during that given session/semester) or within 18 months of having earned the free course.
