Frontline Professional Growth is the professional learning management system used to document all professional development and parent contact hours.


How do I log in?

From the KCS website in the top bar navigate to Staff >> Links >> Frontline (MLP and Aesop)

You can also use the link below:

Navigate to Professional Growth as seen above.


My Info - Your personal information (transcript, file, library, user profile, etc.)

Learning Plan - Status of your requests or proposals and PD recently completed

Activity Catalogs - Search for PD opportunities either here or by calendar

Forms - Catalog Activity Proposal & Out of District Workshop forms


Viewing the Catalog:

To view the catalog, click Activity Catalogs under the Navigation Bar. You can view by either catalog or calendar.

Catalog View:

Helpful hints when searching by the catalog:

  • You can search by session name or date.
  • Click on the session title for more information or to register for the session

Calendar View:

Helpful hints when searching by the calendar:

  • You can view all activities offered for a full month
  • Click on an activity you are interested in to learn more and sign up
  • Once you sign up it will appear yellow on your calendar view

Registering for a Session:

Once you have clicked on the activity for which you would like to register, choose the Sign Up Now button to register. You will also be able to see the time and location of the activity, how many other people are registered, the number of credit hours being offered, and the purpose (credit type) for the activity.


Viewing your Portfolio:

Click on the My Info tab to see the different ways to view your portfolio:

View by Purpose (current) is the recommended view for viewing your portfolio. This view will allow you to see your hours by credit type and year. You may need to scroll to the bottom of your transcript to see all of our hours.

View in Progress will show you activities for which you are registered or activities that you have already attended but in which attendance has not yet been marked.


My File Library

Certificates received for PD sessions that you have attended can be uploaded and stored in My File Library. To upload a certificate go to My Info >> My Information  >> My File Library.

Click Upload a File:

 

 Choose your certificate from the documents on your computer. Once you have uploaded your certificate, you will see it under the My Files icon:


Out of District Requests

1. After logging in, click Forms and then the Out-of-District Workshop link.

*If you are submitting this form for parent contact hour DO NOT select a content area or supervisor. You must select Miscellaneous Professional Learning. Content supervisors will not approve parent contact hours.

2. Enter and submit your session information for approval. Every space that is highlighted in RED must have information in it. Even if you do not need a sub, you must list the times in this space for the form to be submitted. If your request is denied or returned to you for more information, you will see one of the messages on your Learning Plan home screen:

 

If your request is approved, you will see it under the Approved and/or In-Progress heading:

3. Once your session has been approved and attended, click the Manage button beside your session:

You will see this message above notifying you that you must take action.

4. Choose Mark Complete and the request will then go back to your principal or supervisor for final approval. You must complete this step or the request will sit in limbo and the hours will not show.

The session will not show up on your transcript until all of these steps have been completed. You should be able to attach your certificate of completion once you have saved it to your My File Library under your My Info tab on the Navigation Bar.
