eLearning Continuing Education Units

Continuing Education Units (CEU) are available for eLearners who hold a current five-year or ten-year Alaska teaching, administrative, or special services certificate.  Certificated eLearners will receive one CEU for 15 hours of eligible coursework completed. 

Eligible courses must be completed after the date of issuance and before the expiration date on current certificates (and in your eLearning profile). If you are renewing a ten-year certificate, the coursework must be completed within the last five years of your certificate expiration date. The CEU will be awarded within 24 hours of all coursework completed and emailed to the email address in your eLearning profile.

Two CEUs are available at this time. All courses in each CEU catalog must be completed to earn the CEU certificate.

CEU #1: Health and Safety

CEU #2: Trauma-Engaged and Practicing Schools.
