CEUs need not be earned only through the opportunities a school district offers its teachers each year. On line learning programs are increasing in number and quality. In many cases, a teacher will have to apply for CEU equivalents through the district prior to participating in the on line program. There are also many professional organizations in CT that are CEU providers and that offer programs for teachers. Check out our links below to find a program that meets your needs!
