CEUs and Eta State Convention
For several years Eta State has provided forms on which teachers requesting a form and desiring CEU credit for attendance would list the sessions attended and have the presenters sign and receive an attendance form. This form was then submitted to the local district to request CEU credit.
This year Eta State will provide a general certificate of attendance to all those attending the convention. The planning committee for the convention believes this will continue to allow credit to be earned if approved by the teacher’s local school district. A teacher desiring CEU credit for attending the convention will need to confer with her local district* for approval to count attendance as a CEU credit and to learn if other documentation is needed.
As most of you know, in 2011 the General Assembly reduced the number of renewal credits required for a standard professional license from 15 units. Those licenses that expire June 30, 2016 or later require 8 CEUs for K-8 licensure areas to be distributed as 3 content units, 3 literacy units and 2 general units. All others have to earn 3 content units and 5 general units. Expired licenses continue to require 15 units for reinstatement.
*According to the DPI website “activities accepted for renewal credit include college credits documented by a transcript, local in-service course or workshops certified by the district and classes and workshops approved by an LEA with documentation of completion provided by the agency sponsoring the activity".
