KALPA Quick Guide

The KALPA Professional Development Management System allows district employees to track their entire professional learning activities and specific PL requirements via the pd.grps.org website. The KALPA system facilitates the PL registration and documentation process. 

KALPA Procedures

Log In

To access KALPA, go to pd.grps.org

1. District ID is 41010 (should be populated)
2. Login ID is the same as your GRPS login credentials
3. Password is the same as your GRPS login credentials
4. Click LOGIN or press Enter.

Note: Contact the Helpdesk (ex. 2487) for a forgotten password.

Registration

1. To register for courses, go to the Registration tab on the main page.
2. Search for the course by entering course name, course ID, location, ID and/or description in the text box above the list of the courses. Also, two calendar search boxes can be used to filter the list by date range. 
3. Click Search or press Enter.

Note: “Register” green links means the courses are open for registration. Click Register next to the course name and a success message will appear in a pop-up window. In addition, an automatic message is sent via email for successful registrations.

Attendance Validation

Everyone must scan in and scan out for every in-person session. Make sure to complete the survey by clicking on the Take Survey tab to receive your PL credit. Manual validation by the course facilitator or direct supervisor will need to occur for staff unable to scan. 

Professional Development Plan

Reviewing your PL Plan throughout the year will keep you on track with your SCECHS and PL credits and will help with maintaining your certifications. 

For questions or concerns, please reach out to your immediate supervisor first. If further assistance is needed, please contact the Professional Learning Office.
