A PGP is the record of one’s professional growth/development. In addition to classroom responsibilities, educators attend conferences and workshops, participate in committee work and school improvement plans, as well as take coursework to remain current on educational reforms and trends. Many of these activities can be included in one’s PGP. 

Avon Community School District does not keep records of employee’s individual professional growth points. These can be tracked through your IDOE LVIS account. Log in to your account on the left-hand side you can use the Professional Growth Plans to log your PGPs. These are your responsibility and will not be housed by the district. You can upload them ALL at one time or individually as they are completed.
