PD I don't feel comfortable with
My new admin sent me some PD coursework. They had mentioned it in my interview and I didn't think too much into it, but now I'm conflicted. I'm teaching upper level high school science, but the PD is specifically for middle and elementary school grades. I realize they sent me this because I can complete the PD and the school gets free materials, possible school trips, and funding, but for me it seems like a big fat lie and a waste of my time, with 30+ hours mandated PD to receive the benefits.
It is asking me in the application which grades I teach, with no option for high school, and asking me which Regents I align to, which is obviously none of them. I don't teach bio or earth science, so even the middle school options for PD are just unrelated. Plus, I'm seeing that they request copies of standardized test scores from students to track improvement, which I obviously wouldn't be able to provide unless admin whips something up. I honestly have no problem buying most of my own materials if this is why they want me to do it, as I've done that for years, but this is my first year in the DOE and idk how common this is? Would these even count toward my hours required for my professional certification (I'm still on my initial)?
EDIT: They had told me it was middle school training in the interview, but I didn't know I'd have to lie on the training application. That is the part I'm most uncomfortable with.
