CPE Accreditation
Why Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Credit matters?
Apart from the requirements set forth by Texas Education Agency (TEA) to be (and continue to be) certified as a teacher, Continuing Professional Education (CPE) brings real values to both new and experienced educators. Even if well prepared, new teachers often lack adequate support and confidence to influence the students to excel at the subject. Experienced teachers could miss out on keeping up-to-date with new technology tools and curriculum resources that could bring out the best learning outcomes from the students.
