The PD Tracker That Actually Counts (For Your Career, Not Just Compliance)
The Core Problem
Teachers log PD hours to meet compliance, then forget them. The hours are real but unbanked — they don't build toward a specialization, a promotion, or a portfolio. The PD was done; the career value wasn't captured.
You did the hours. You didn't bank the value.
The Solution Framework
A PD tracker logs each session with its focus, the skill gained, and the evidence. Over a year, the tracker becomes a portfolio — a documented specialization that matters for promotions, role changes, and pay scales.
Log the hour, bank the skill.
