DEFINING A CONTINUING EDUCATION UNIT
One Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is twenty-four (24) contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under qualified supervision that meets: a. the professional development needs identified in a performance appraisal and b. health/growth needs identified by the minister in consultation with the Network Leader.
CEUs are documented events that are submitted to the Personnel office for tracking.
Calculation of contact hours may include the following elements:
1. |
in-class time with direct participation between the learner and instructor. |
2. |
activities in which there is no onsite instructor present, such as, supervised independent study, computer-assisted instruction, or project-based assignments may be counted if they meet the criteria. A written plan needs to be submitted and approved by the Network Leader. |
3. |
field experience, laboratory assignments, and projects, if they are sufficiently structured to meet the criteria. All projects must be submitted in writing and approved by the Network Leader. |
