Michigan Department of Education SB-CEUs

Many professional activities are now eligible for awarding SB-CEUs. Criteria and registration process for obtaining MI SB-CEUs for professional activities is outlined in the MDE Professional Activities Eligible for Awarding SB-CEUs document. Approved activities and required forms are available below.

Eligibility

To be eligible for MI SB-CEUs for professional activities listed above, the staff member will need to fulfill the requirements outlined by MDE. Send completed forms with original signatures and required documentation to GISD (using address below) as soon as criteria has been met, preferably within 30 days of last qualifying meeting. Forms will not be accepted once a new school year has begun.

• Activities are eligible to receive at least 3.0 MI SB-CEUs if criteria and documentation is met.
• CEUs will be granted only once per granting period to an eligible applicant. (Example: You can get 3.0 MI SB-CEUs for Committee Participation in 2008/09; you cannot receive 3.0 MI SB-CEUs for every committee you are on. Similarly, you may be awarded 3.0 MI SB-CEUs for Mentoring, not 3.0 for each person you mentor.)
• Effective August 2008, approval numbers for GISD sponsored MI SB-CEU activities will be provided on official transcripts following verification of participation. Transcripts should be available 30 days following an activity. To request, call 810-591-4408.
• Criteria documentation along with a copy of the SB-CEU Verification Form should remain on file at the building level or with the staff member.

MI SB-CEUs for All Other Programs

MI SB-CEUs can be offered for other professional development programs if the program will provide at least 5.0 hours of participant contact time. The application must be submitted to GISD 25 days prior to the first day of the program to be reviewed and submitted to MDE.
