Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use my QTEA (Prop A) Hours for Online Learning?
In short, YES. Online courses from the SFUSD Course Catalogue qualify for the QTEA (Prop A) Professional Development (PD) hours offered to all UESF members. It is important to note, however, that all QTEA PD requires approval from site leaders. Please see the QTEA guidelines for details on how to fill out the passport.

Is there support for using Google Classroom?
