State
Board Continuing Education Units (SB-CEUs) |
|
|
|
What are SB-CEUs?
State Board Continuing Education Units (SB-CEUs) are State Board approved
in-service, workshop, training or conference credits that are used for
renewal of selected certificates issued by the Michigan Department of
Education. SB-CEUs are calculated by dividing the total number of contact
or instructional hours by10. Thus, an eight hour session would be eligible
to grant eight tenths (.8) of a SB-CEU.*
|
|
|
|
• 3 SB-CEUs are equivalent to 1 semester credit
hour (for certificate renewal only).
• All programs awarding SB-CEUs must be approved by the Michigan Department
of Education.
• To offer SB-CEUs, an in-service, workshop or training must be a minimum
of 3 hours; a conference must be a minimum of 5 hours.
|
|
|
|
Why should I get
SB-CEUs?
|
|
|
|
• Receiving SB-CEUs verifies:
|
|
|
|
• The offering was approved by the State Board
of Education.
• You were in attendance for the entire offering.
|
|
|
|
• SB-CEUs are accepted as proof of
professional development for various certificates and credentials,
and for training mandated by the State of Michigan Department of Human
Services,
Office of Children and Adult Licensing.
