Robin,

I look forward to hearing what your tutors say.

I know that part-time teachers often feel that they should get paid to
participate in professional development opportunities and that there
should be some recognition after completing a certain amount of training. 
Since part-time teachers usually receive few benefits or contracts, it's
not surprising that they might expect some kind of support and
recognition.
