	Important Update Regarding Vanguard University Salary Credits:  Effective January 31, 2011, LAUSD no longer accepts professional development units from Vanguard University for salary point credit. LAUSD continues to receive documentation from Vanguard University for affected employees. The completion of all required university hours for courses in the Teacher Advancement Program coursework is extremely important. Currently, the District is reviewing the verifications received from Vanguard University to ensure compliance with university standards and District/UTLA contract provisions. Thank you for your continued patience during this process. The District expects that each Teacher planning to take any future coursework at any other institution conduct due diligence to ensure that the coursework offered meets the minimal standards set forth in the LAUSD/UTLA contract under Article XV, Section 3.0. These requirements were established to ensure that teachers continue their professional development by being engaged in rigorous and scholarly graduate level work. This work must enhance the teacher's classroom practice and include research as well as instruction in methodology and pedagogy. (updated 02/28/11) University of Phoenix transcripts: Please be advised you will need the “Enrollment Verification with Schedule” attached to your University of Phoenix transcripts in order to determine the appropriate effective date of the units.
