Shaker Ways PDP Passport
The SHAKER WAYS EDUCATORS' PASSPORT consists of a registration form; helpful vocabulary and descriptive material; and assessment forms. Each workshop or tour leader will sign the passport to verify attendance.
Shaker Ways Educators Registration is free of charge. Some workshops and tours have fees, as listed.
Teachers must complete 10 PDPs at Hancock Shaker Village offerings to get PDP credit. HSV will offer PDPs for the EDUCATOR OPEN HOUSE to teachers who wish to sign up for other workshops and tours.
When the teacher has completed 10 or more PDPs, he/she mails or brings in the completed passport. HSV checks the assessments, and issues a PDP certificate.
