SB-CEUs & Secure Central Registry
Non-Traditional SB-CEUs: Please
visit the SB-CEU
page on the Monroe County ISD website for
information and forms for Non-Traditional SB-CEUs
(e.g. School Improvement, Teacher Mentor, etc.).
The following was emailed on March 2, 2010 to
educators registered in Coursewhere.
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is
transitioning to a Secure Central Registry (SCR)
which will house all SB-CEUs awarded after January 1,
2010. The SCR will allow educators to view all
SB-CEUs awarded (after 01/01/2010), regardless of the
SB-CEU Sponsor which is providing the SB-CEUs. The
SCR will be available on a 24/7 basis and equipped
with a Help Desk to answer questions regarding
navigation of the SCR site. The SCR Help Desk will
not answer questions regarding awarding of SB-CEUs.
It is strictly for navigation of the SCR only.
With the development and implementation of a SCR,
there are changes to the way in which SB-CEUs are
awarded:
- SB-CEU Program coordinators will no
longer provide offering participants with SB-CEU
certificates of completion.
- SB-CEU Coordinators will upload to the SCR those
attendees eligible to be awarded SB-CEUs.
- Eligible attendees will be sent an email with
instructions on accessing the SCR and completion of a
personal profile. After the profile is completed and
saved (a valid email address is required and we
prefer a school email address), an attendee will be
able to select an offering and complete a required
common evaluation. The evaluation must be
completed within 30 days of notification. At
the end of the 30 days, the evaluation is no longer
available for completion and SB-CEUs will not be
awarded.
- SB-CEUs are automatically awarded and
immediately listed on an Unofficial Transcript. The
Unofficial Transcript will contain all the required
information needed for certificate renewal: name of
the offering and date(s), name of the SB-CEU Sponsor
and Coordinator, Program Approval Number, and number
of SB-CEUs awarded. An Official Transcript can be
purchased for a small charge.
The above process will be required for all
SB-CEUs awarded after 01/01/2010. Many
educators have contacted the MDE and their SB-CEU
Coordinators regarding a central registry. We are
very happy to be able to provide this service to you.
We are very excited about the new Secure Central
Registry and appreciate your patience (yes, growing
pains are not easy) during this transition period. In
the meantime, please take some time to visit the
SB-CEU website http://www.solutionwhere.com/mi_sbceu
where you can view detail on all currently approved
SB-CEU offerings. This listing of offerings is
updated daily as Coordinators submit applications for
approval.
There are also several documents relative to the
SB-CEU program that are accessible at the MDE website
at http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,1607,7-140-6530_5683-219674--,00.html
which will answer many questions regarding SB-CEUs
and Advanced Certificate renewal.
Sincerely,
