2018-2019 K-12 School Improvement Team Meetings

All educators may earn SCECHs for participation in School Improvement Team meetings, if the team has been approved as a Public Act 25 School Improvement Team. The candidate must be an active member of the local or intermediate school board approved Public Act 25 School Improvement Team. Participants must have verified attendance at ¾ of the scheduled meetings, but not less than six meetings, to be eligible for SCECHs. No mixing and matching of team meetings. If nine meetings are scheduled, six meetings must be attended. If twelve meetings are scheduled, nine must be attended, etc. Participants can only earn 25 SCECHs per school year, regardless of the number of teams on which they participate. Attendance must be verified and signed by the team chairperson for each meeting. The chairperson must submit to the SCECH Coordinator, no later than 30 calendar days from the end date of the program year, the complete packet of meeting agendas and either sign in/out (with original signatures of participants) or minutes of meetings as verification of attendance (attendance list included in minutes must be signed by chairperson for verification). The Coordinator must keep the original documentation in the SCECH file. School personnel keep the copies. The signature of the building principal on the verification form will provide verification of the successful completion of the professional development assignment. The program approval file must include the printed approved program, agenda for each meeting, sign in/out sheets or signed minutes which include attendance for each meeting, and verification form signed by the appropriate individual. This non-traditional activity may only be used a maximum of three (3) times toward certificate renewal within an educator’s certificate renewal period.
