Thank you for your guidance as how to answer some of the questions! I really appreciate it. And what you said does make sense but it is still incredibly confusing. We do the professional development on school grounds during school hours and are mandated to do this. Because of this, there are no expenses to deduct. I am just struggling to wrap my head around the concept since teaching is my only job so I don't view myself as being self-employed. But (please bear with me because I feel like this sounds crazy) would I take it as me employing myself to learn professionally? Like I said, just trying to find an explanation that makes sense in my head.
