Changes to SB-CEUs

All SB-CEU earned after January 1, 2010 will be awarded to educators and administrators via a Secure Central Registry (SCR). Once uploaded to the SCR, participants will receive an email directing them to the web address to complete a personal account and evaluation.

The requirements for your personal account will be a valid email address and a Personal Identification Code (PIC). The PIC is distributed by the Registry of Educational Personnel (REP). Contact your administrator or Human Resources Department in your home district for your PIC number.

After completion of the personal account, participants follow the instructions to complete a required evaluation of the offering. After the evaluation is completed, SB-CEUs will be awarded and listed on an unofficial transcript.

What are SB-CEUs?

SB-CEUs are State Board-Continuing Education Units. For teachers, administrators, school counselors and school psychologists in the state of Michigan, they can be an inexpensive alternative for participants to maintain their certification.

In Michigan, teachers who hold Professional or Occupational certificates, school psychologists, school counselors and school administrators need to earn six semester hours of college credit through an approved teacher preparation institute or 18 SB-CEUs or a combination of both in a five year period. Three SB-CEUs equal one semester hour of college credit.

Non-Traditional Activities

School Psychologists, Student Teacher/Intern, Teacher Mentor, School Counselor assignments have been approved for three SB-CEUs per semester (January to June is the Spring Semester, September to December is the Fall Semester). You can only go back one semester for approval, per activity.

Participants cannot earn more than nine SB-CEUs in any one category during a five year period.

School Improvement Teams, Mentoring Principal and Committee meetings are year long assignments, earning three SB-CEUs during the year. Only one activity per participant is eligible.

Please be advised that as of August 2009, the requirements have changed.

IMPORTANT!

For participants to earn SB-CEUs, they must attend the entire program as required by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE). This means attending all sessions according to the approved schedule including arriving on time and remaining for the duration of each session. The MDE and Bay-Arenac ISD review all programs and monitor attendance. Program planners determine the method for documenting attendance. It is the responsibility of each participant that their attendance has been documented. Failure to comply with program requirements, including attendance, will result in disallowance of SB-CEU credit.
