Summer is the perfect time to earn contact hours for recertification, and MEA/NEA members have access to hundreds of free professional development opportunities both in-person and online.
This year, MEA staff have trained over 600 members on the Dangerous Behavior Prevention and Intervention law. This law emphasizes creating individualized support plans to equip educators and students with strategies to deescalate and prevent incidents. We’ve heard our members want more training on behavioral interventions, so our upcoming MEA Summer Camp will include sessions on behavior management strategies, restorative practices, behavior root cause analysis, and student engagement. We encourage you to register!
In the meantime, check out NEA’s Classroom Management Micro-Credentials. Each Micro-Credential is worth 15 contact hours and can be completed at your own pace. You’ll receive feedback from a real person, allowing you to resubmit assignments if needed. You also have access to all assignments and tasks before committing to a course, and you can take as many courses as you like.
Should you need assistance, just reach out!
REMINDER!
Education Technicians need 45 hours to recertify, while teachers need 90 hours. To check your certification status, log in to your MEIS account on the DOE’s website
