The State Board shall develop the requirements for standard
forms that shall be used by approved providers. These forms shall serve two
purposes: evaluation of the activity by the licensee and evidence of completion
for the licensee with respect to the activity. The State Board shall make
available information about the required format and contents of these forms so
that providers may generate them for their own use.
a) This form shall be provided to each
participant who completes the activity, who shall maintain it as evidence of
completion of the professional development activity. In the case of a
conference, workshop, or other event having more than one session, the sessions
in whole shall be considered an "activity" for purposes of this Section. The
providers shall maintain sign-in sheets for each activity.
b) The provider shall complete the standard
form to indicate the title, time, date, location, nature of the event and clock
hours of credit earned (i.e., in increments of a quarter hour). Alternately, a
provider may accept an official transcript in place of the standard form as
evidence of completion of coursework at a regionally accredited institution of
higher education that is not approved under Section
25.855.
c) If the licensee's records are audited
pursuant to Section 21B-45(j) of the Code and Section
25.860 of this Part, credit for
professional development activities claimed shall be affirmed only when the
standard form is presented.
d) In
the case of higher education coursework, an official transcript shall be
maintained as evidence of completion in lieu of the form specified in
subsection (a).
