AEA Salary Advancement Support

AEA Salary Advancement or DEED Recertification Support

Teaching and Learning follows the language found in Section 115 of the AEA Negotiated Agreement when reviewing courses eligible for salary movement. 

Guidance for AEA Salary Advancement Course Approval and DEED Recertification

The guide provides step-by-step guidance for submitting credit courses and CEUs to Frontline for pre-approval.

• The Professional Learning Team is responsible for reviewing all submitted courses for pre-approval. Courses should be submitted before taking them to ensure they are recognized as eligible for salary advancement. This is to ensure that staff do not complete courses that are ineligible (ASD is not responsible for reimbursement for any denied courses).
  • Course approval may take up to 10 business days to process in Frontline. 
  • For questions regarding course approval or Frontline Professional Growth support, please email FrontlinePG@asdk12.org.
• Once the team has approved a course, it will be reflected on the educator's Professional Growth page in Frontline and reviewed by Talent Management (TM) when the staff member submits the required forms and transcripts. Please do not send transcripts to Teaching and Learning or Professional Learning. 
  • For questions about steps or credits toward salary advancement, please email: TalentManagement@asdk12.org

Teacher Institute Seminar Series (TISS)

Educators who fully participate in 15 hours of Teacher Institute Seminar Series (TISS) sessions are eligible to request one Advanced Academy CEU (AdvA CEU). Educators may earn two AdvA CEUs per year. Within guidelines/negotiated agreement, AdvA CEUs may be accepted by ASD for salary advancement and by DEED for recertification. AdvA CEU Request forms must be turned in no later than June 15 to be considered. Late forms are not accepted. 

No partial hours will be issued (i.e., < 15 hours), and TISS hours accumulated during the school year will not carry over to the next school year for an AdvA CEU. 

To convert TISS courses to CEUs or view the TISS FAQ page, please visit the TISS InsideASD SharePoint page (internal only).
