What is the difference between A+ credits and P credits? Can I still use P credits toward my salary differential?

A+ credits and P credits are both types of professional development credits that may be used towards teachers’ salary differentials. A+ credits are approved by a committee of UFT and DOE representatives, and are aligned with DOE educational priorities to promote teachers’ development of skills, knowledge, and methods aligned to the needs of the school system and students. P credit courses are offered through the New York City Department of Education’s  After School Professional Development Program (ASPDP), aligned with the Danielson Framework for Teaching, and may also be used by teachers to complete CTLE hours in addition to earning salary differential credits.
