Submitting CPD forms
After successfully completing one of our CPD courses, your lead course facilitator will e-mail you two documents:
- CPD digital E-form
- Guidelines for completing your CPD paperwork
You must submit one CPD digital E-form to the Certification Office, who will sign on the Signature of Professional line. Keep the second form for your record until you receive the signed copy from the Certification Office. After submitting your form to the Certification Office, you will receive a copy for your record from the Certification Office. It is important that you keep your signed copy. If you intend to use this for re-certification at some point in the future, you must have an original copy to send with your application for renewal to MSDE.
Should you have further questions regarding processing your CPD credits please visit the Submitting Official Transcripts, MSDE CPD Credit Slips and Other Documentation for Certification and Salary Advancement website.
Tuition Reimbursement
All required documentation must be received in the Office of Human Resources and Development (OHRD) within 60 days of the course end date. Requests for tuition reimbursement are made through Professional Development Online (PDO). It is strongly suggested that staff use the “INQUIRY” tab under “Tuition Reimbursement” in PDO, prior to registering for any coursework to verify eligibility for tuition reimbursement. For instance, only current Physical Education teachers will be eligible to be reimbursed for physical education coursework. Staff will then be able to submit “Requests” under the “Tuition Reimbursement” tab in PDO after the completion of coursework.
For questions regarding submitting tuition reimbursement, please see MCPS’s website on tuition reimbursement or call 301-315-7383.
