What is expected of workshop attendees?
I am a licensed teacher in the state of Pennslyvania - will I receive ACT 48 credits?
I am a licensed teacher outside of the state of Pennslyvania - will I still be able to earn professional development credits?
For out-of-state participants, CMU will issue a certificate of completion documenting the workshop program, including the number of professional development hours earned. While we cannot guarantee acceptance, this certificate can be used to request professional development credit from your home institution.
