Professional Development Proposals
Professional Development (PD) courses in the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences (EHHS) are typically offered to educators and administrators who need initial certification or to maintain credentials, as well as for the purpose of staying abreast of new policies and procedures. They cover a broad spectrum of topics and are offered throughout the State of Idaho and via online delivery methods.
For a listing of available PD courses, go to Keep Learning Idaho.
If you want to teach PD courses at U of I through EHHS, the Associate Dean or a Department Chair will first ensure you are qualified to teach the course(s) you are proposing. If they determine you are, you will need to be affiliated with U of I in order to teach.
- Submit a Course Proposal and attach your CV or resume and a course syllabus.
- An Affiliate Data System Set-up Form will be emailed to you upon confirmation of your qualifications. (If you are currently employed at U of I, you do not need to complete Steps 2-4.)
- Complete the form, and fax it directly to Human Resources at 208-885-3602.
- When you receive your confirmation from Human Resources, including your V number if you have never been affiliated with U of I in any capacity, email it to the Professional Development Team (ehhspd@uidaho.edu), and your Affiliate EPAF will be processed.
- Once your EPAF is complete, the Professional Development Team can begin processing PD course proposals for you.
The course proposal form provides all the information needed to set up your course, including your contact information in case we have any questions. Most fields are required. Please be as thorough and accurate as possible.
Each course requires a syllabus outlining the expectations, grading requirements, instructor contact information, and other course specifics. Below is a template available for your use. You may modify it to suit your needs, as long as you include the basic information required to meet U of I and EHHS policies.
Once the PD course has been processed, it will be visible in Keep Learning Idaho.
First-time participants will create an account in Keep Learning Idaho and instructors will be responsible for monitoring class lists, dates and deadlines as well as entering grades.
Grades are due upon completion of coursework and are available for viewing within 24 hours of entry.
If students need proof of completion of their PD coursework, they may view and print transcripts in Keep Learning Idaho.
As of January 1, 2024, professional development credits will appear on Keep Learning Idaho transcripts only. Any professional development credit taken prior to the above listed date will appear on the students’ official degree seeking academic transcript ordered through the Office of the Registrar. Both transcripts are considered Official Transcripts from the University of Idaho and have been approved by the Idaho State Department of Education.
If you have questions, you may contact our Professional Development Team (ehhspd@uidaho.edu) or the Registrar's Office.
