Teacher-Student Roster Verification
From Kevin Webster:  The state web portal https://eservices.nysed.gov/taa/ is now open for verification of teacher student roster verification (TSDL).  This year, only 3-8 ELA and math instructors as well as teachers who teach a math course which lead to a regents exam need to verify.

Local workshops and My Learning Plan
We have started to input our local workshops into MLP.  The first tab in the PD sheet is now for MLP links. You can also get them by going to the district catalog in MLP.

I'm new to this and the help from MLP isn't easy, but I think we have it. I'll start entering older stuff soon.  I have added the 8/31 and 9/1 supt days. You can sign up for the old ones until 6/30.

Having all of our local workshops in MLP creates the electronic paper trail needed for your info to end up in your TEACH account.  Steve's office gets a report from MLP at the end of each year that is entered into the TEACH system.  If your events are in MLP, they'll end up in the report for TEACH, which is important if you're a relatively new teacher who needs to track hours.
