Credit for Attendance |

Certified provider:
Barbers Hill ISD is a TEA-certified provider of professional development
training. All summer, after-school and other sessions offered during
non-duty days provide CPE hours that can be
used for
exchange days
(with approval),
professional accreditation, or personal enrichment. A record of
all training received will be available as needed.
Scheduled
in-service days: sessions offered during scheduled in-service
times may offer CPE hours, but will not be available for exchange
purposes unless otherwise noted.
Technology-sponsored sessions:
certain technology-sponsored sessions may
(with principal approval) qualify as exchange hours
Responsibility of staff members:
It is the
responsibility of the individual
employee to ensure he/she has enough hours for
exchange days or make up days,
or enough CPEs for certification purposes. No one should
depend on a single provider for the required hours.
While every
effort is made to ensure a variety of training opportunities, there is
no guarantee that any course or courses published for presentation by BHISD will
meet
your individual requirements.
