As we transition from My Learning Plan to True North Logic, there are some points we would like to clarify:
1 DPS and NCDPI still use HRMS to record credits for employees.
2 DPS adopted MLP to manage professional development and now we have chosen to use True North Logic (TNL) as our PD management system. TNL will record the professional development that occurs within the district (as well as some group conferences).
3 Individual out-of-district trainings will not be recorded in TNL. Individuals must continue to send a copy of their out-of-district certificates to Marie Savoy at SDC.
4Credits for both TNL professional development and any out-of-district PD will continue to be recorded on the Continuing Education Employee History (aka HRMS).
* ***CLASSIFIED personnel do not have access to TNL. We are preparing a separate procedure for them to sign-up for PD.***
Our office records credits for all employees for which we receive verification of participation.
