One of the key components of program logistics is completing the Registration and Needs Assessment forms before new programs begin, so that facilitators may use the information provided to structure their seminars and workshops to suit the needs of the participants. To facilitate the process of completing these forms, we are now making them available on-line.

There is one universal Registration form that all participants must fill out. Please be sure to ask participants to complete all data on the form, as missing information will delay grading and tuition processing.

Click on the appropriate PLN course below to access specific Needs Assessment Forms. Ask participants to fill out the form to the best of their knowledge. Any questions or insight they can provide about issues to be explored in the seminar will be used in tailoring syllabi to address specific needs.

If you have any questions or concerns about Registration or Needs Assessment forms, or have problems accessing these documents, please contact the PLN office.

What if our district or school wants to hire a PLN faculty member for independent work in our district and not through PLN?
All PLN faculty members are required to conduct work with PLN districts through PLN and not independently. We ask that you contact the PLN Director to set up any assignments for PLN faculty on a given year or the next year. We work to maintain the integrity and continuity of PLN work and we put many resources into the training and support of our faculty members as well. The director will work with you flexibly to consider costs if this is an issue.
Do not contact faculty members for independent jobs. Call the PLN office/director: 215-898-1984.
