Certificated Professional Growth

Per the SEA Contract, Article 14.9:

Resources Department to ensure that they will be accepted for movement across the
salary schedule.
● Units submitted must be from a regionally accredited college or university (WASC or its
equivalent) in upper and/or lower division or graduate courses and must have been
taken after the date the Bachelor’s Degree was awarded.
● Units/coursework must support the teacher’s professional growth.
● Units must be earned during the current tenure of employment with the district.
● Lower division courses are not normally acceptable unless relevant to the assignment as
determined by the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources or designee.
