PD Partnerships


Professional Development Partnerships


Member Service Associate Organizations:

As an ISBE Approved Provider for professional development, Illinois ASBO can recognize member Service Associate organizations as subcontractors under that approved provider agreement. Subcontractor status allows SA’s to offer Illinois ASBO members Professional Development Clock Hours (PDCH) at any qualifying professional development activity sponsored by the SA organization. School administrators holding a Professional Educator License (PEL) in Illinois are required to earn annual PDHCs to maintain licensure. A partnership allows the Service Associate organization to bring additional value to Illinois ASBO members and increase participation by offering PDCHs.


Non-Member Organizations:

Non-Member organizations must first become members to apply for subcontractor status.

Subcontractors will be referred to as Partners and will be able to select from Board determined partnership tiers to meet their needs.
