Following are the steps for schools to successfully provide inservice and garner inservice points for their personnel:

Step One: Registration

Register online in order to provide us with all the data necessary to file this inservice with the Florida Department of Education. During this process you will use drop downs to connect to your school and to select your role in the school.

Administrators/School Heads

As a CSF Administrator, your registration will be pending until verified with the Director of Professional Development, Mrs. Susan Taylor, at susanataylor@comcast.net or (239) 277-7813 and (239) 810-9396.

If you have assigned another staff person as your school’s local inservice coordinator, this position will also be pending until you verify your assignment with the Director. Both administrators and inservice coordinators can apply for inservice activities and can access the inservice records of their entire staff, while teachers can access only their own personal records. Only school heads and school approving adminstrators can validate that inservice activities are completed.

It is your responsibility to direct your certified teachers to register using the register click in the blue box at “www.csfla.org”.

Teachers

If your school is a member of Christian Schools of Florida, please register using the register click in the blue box at “www.csfla.org”.

Step Two: Application for Inservice Activity

Administrators/Inservice Coordinators

Based on your staff needs and interests, you determine the inservice activities in which they participate. First, review the inservice Components list and the accompanying word documents. Then, on the Apply for an Inservice Activity form, select your chosen inservice component and complete the application. Use the Submit button when all required fields have been completed. Please do not forget to upload documentation outlining the content and parameters of this inservice activity.

Step Three: Approved Activities

Administrators/Inservice Coordinators/Teachers

The Director of Professional Development approves your activity by assigning an activity number. The submitted application will appear on your individual mip screen as approved. When applying for an independent study component, teachers can keep a log of their hours on the Inservice Activity Record. An activity’s status can be saved, submitted, approved, or completed, as indicated on your individual mip screens.

Step Four: Completion of Inservice Activity

Administrators/Inservice Coordinators/Teachers

Once an inservice activity has been completed by all participants to the satisfaction of the instructor, the following steps are taken:

• Participants evaluate the inservice activity using the Individual Evaluation offline form. The school must keep these completed forms on file.
• Administrators/Inservice Coordinators use the Report Participants form to indicate all staff who successfully completed the inservice.
• The Administrator or Inservice Coordinator collates the completed Individual Evaluation offline forms in order to update the Summarize Evaluations form.
• The Approving Administrator validates the inservice activity completion from his/her MIP Homepage. With this validation of completion, all reported inservice participants receive the inservice points for that activity. Participants can view their own individual inservice records, while adminstrators and inservice coordinators can view the inservice records of all their school personnel.
