The steps to making your PLD proposal.
Communities of Learning (CoLs), schools and kura looking to apply for centrally funded PLD in 2017 can start identifying their PLD requirements for the coming year.
The Ministry is now accepting proposals for PLD to be delivered from term 1, 2017.
Before making a proposal, there are a number of things you need to consider, which include:
There is no guarantee however that a CoL will receive centrally funded PLD just because it is a CoL.
To complete a PLD proposal there are a number of questions your proposal should answer.
These are:
To make it easy for you, the Ministry has also developed a template you can use that takes you through proposal questions step by step. The template and more information on making a proposal can be found on the PLD website at http://services.education.govt.nz/pld(external link)
If you need any help completing your proposal contact your local Education Advisor and they will help you complete your proposal.
PLD funding will be allocated regionally by an area allocation panel which will include local sector representatives. The allocation panel will be looking at all proposals for their region and will be allocating PLD based on their region’s priorities and needs.
In the future CoLs, schools and kura can apply for PLD funding every term, starting in term 4, 2016. The proposals should go to your Ministry of Education regional office.
Schools that belong to a CoL should make a joint PLD proposal through their CoL leader.
PLD proposals for term 1, 2017 are due in October. Check with your local Ministry office to find out what the final date for submitting a proposal is in your area.
