Re: Professional Development tracking software???

It may not be exactly what you are looking for but I would give PD =
Point, from Schoolkit (www.schoolkit.com) a very close look. It is a =
service/software that includes professional development that can be =
independent or teacher-led. You can also plug in your own materials. =
You can track versus goals and align goals with professional development =
experiences. I'm not sure it will do the budgeting you are looking for. =
It also sounds like you may not be looking for content...thus it may =
not meet your price point. However, it's worth a look.

Take care,

Please keep this thread public - I have never heard of such an animal
and it certainly would be useful.

Sorry for the cross-post...

Before I start down the path of writing YAIA (Yet Another Internal App),
I
was curious to see if anyone else is using some software to track
professional development. Here is a brief line up of what we are looking
to
do:

1) Track overall budget for Prof Dev
2) Allow for a user to write up a request online, and then be able to
track
the progress of their request.
3) Store all the data in a database that can then be mined with specific
types of searches.
4) Be able to export to CSV.


These are just the basics, but should give you a good idea of what we
are
looking for. Maybe you know of something that can do this, but isn't
specifically for Prof Dev, but could be manipulated to that end.


Thanks in advance,
Cameron
