How to Use an NA Form to Submit Professional Development Hours for Salary Point Credit

One of the ways that teachers and HHS providers can earn salary points is to accumulate professional development hours.  To do this, you will need the NA form, which is located on the Salary Allocation page of lausd.net. Some guidelines include:

·	Thirty hours are required for each salary point. These hours must be outside of paid time,
“Banked Time” professional development hours are not acceptable for salary point credit.

·	You may only submit the NA form if the documented hours add up to a complete salary point. Extra hours from a project that exceed the required 30 hours will be lost once they are submitted. For example, if you submit 38 hours, the “extra” eight hours will be lost.

·	Professional development hours must be related to teaching, but they can address any aspect (e.g., content knowledge, pedagogy, classroom management, etc.).

·	Make sure that you submit original copies of attendance verification documents (certificates or letters on official letterhead are acceptable) from the provider of the professional development. Please also include a syllabus and/or description of the event to help support its connection to your professional growth.

·	Workshops/classes must meet the requirements set forth in the UTLA/LAUSD Contract and the policies of the Salary Allocation Unit.  If you want to be sure that your professional development activities meet the requirements, you can submit your NA form for Pre- Approval. If you choose to do this, please describe the professional development you will be taking when you submit the form along with supporting documents from the organization.

When you complete an NA form, send it to Salary Point Credit Advisement.
