My school has imposed a clause that says they are happy to pay for PD opportunities but the cost is only covered if you stay on for 6 terms. If you leave the job within that time you have to pay it back. I can understand that, but our school has 5 teaching blocks a year called 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e. So far no one has confirmed what a term is... I just got the #IUPAC conference #ICCE in Pattaya, Thailand OK'd and plan on staying in my job for 2 years, but it could impact future PD decisions. #Teaching #ChemistryTeacher #IBChemistry @edutooter
