Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Courses
Some professional learning courses, workshops, and trainings offer continuing education units/clock hours (CEUs) upon completion of the course. CEUs are professional learning credits that may be used toward license renewal but may not be used for salary advancement. It is possible to receive CEUs rather than district credit for some courses, at the instructor's discretion.
Per CDE: To renew your Professional license you will need to submit 6 semester hours of coursework or 90 clock hours of professional development. These can be combined. 1 semester hour is equal to 15 clock hours. (example: 30 clock hours of professional development plus 4 semester hours of college coursework would equal 6 semester hours or 90 clock hours).
CEUs:
✔ Available to all Weld RE-4 employees, including certified and classified staff
✔ Eligible for use in license renewal
✔ Course Fee waived, material fee applied for district employees
✔ Offered as an alternative to district credit for many courses
✖ Not eligible for use in salary advancement
District Credit Courses
District credit is an educational unit based on credit hours that are awarded for the completion of coursework for some professional learning courses offered by Weld RE-4. It gives staff the opportunity not only to learn, but to document and share practices with colleagues. District Credit can be used for salary advancement, and as a result, hourly compensation in addition to credit is not available.
District Credit:
✔ Available for all Weld RE-4 employees, including certified and classified staff
✔ Eligible for use in salary advancement and/or re-licensure
✔ Requires approval of an action plan and evidence of implementation
✔ Subject to tuition and other fees
✖ Not eligible for hourly compensation in addition to credit
