Click on In-service Report on the left
Click on the ‘Search’ button only. Do not enter any dates.

SEARCH AND BOOK IN ESS
In ESS, click on Professional Development.
1
There are 2 ways to search for a course.
1 – Enter the name of the course in the
Search Term field under the Navigation
column (center column). Search by the
name of the course, not the number. Click
on Find. (Go to screen shot #5)
or
2 - Use the Course Catalog in the Navigation
column. Scroll down until you see the
heading “Course Catalog.”
2
The Course Catalog contains the names of
all of the District professional development
programs in alpha order. When you open a
program you will see the listings of all
courses that belong to that program. If you
know the program you are looking for scroll
down until you find the name. NonInstructional employees can find most
courses in these three programs:
• Office Support Personnel
• Non-Instructional Leadership
• Software Application
Note: You are not limited to just taking
courses in these programs.
3
Example: If you search by the Office
Support Personnel program, you will first
see the program description and specific
objectives. Scroll down until you see the
course listings for this program.
4
1
Once you see the listings, select the course
that you want to attend. The specific
objectives, course description and the
number of inservice points will appear at the
top. Below this information will be the
number of offerings for that course. If no
date appears, it means that no date has been
scheduled for that course.
5
If there is more than one date for the course,
select the date you would like to attend and
then click on Book Course. You will receive
a notification via e-mail provided that you
have an e-mail address listed in ESS.
6
If you need further help, there are videos on
how to navigate through ESS located on the
BRITE web site. Look for ERP Videos.
