     TIP: Put a sticky note on your TR form indicating you want funds from PDP. This form should come to the PDP office PRIOR to going to Fiscal Services.

    Sample TR Form (AFTER you return from your travel)

UPON YOUR RETURN ~ evaluate your PD experience. Fill out the form...
2019-2020 Travel Activity Evaluation ~ Online form to be completed after you return from your activity, even if you did NOT attend the activity.

ALSO...
Remember to record this travel activity as Professional Development in MyFlex for credit towards your PD/Flex obligation.
ADDITIONAL NOTE...
When you count your travel for hours towards your PD obligation, remember to deduct time spent at that activity if you are scheduled to teach during part of that time. For example, if you are at a conference for 8 hours but you would normally teach for 2 hours during that day, you can claim 6 hours of PD on your MyFlex transcript.
