	State Board Continuing Education Units (SB-CEUs)
		What are SB-CEUs? State Board Continuing Education Units (SB-CEUs) are State Board approved in-service, workshop, training or conference credits that are used for renewal of selected certificates issued by the Michigan Department of Education. SB-CEUs are calculated by dividing the total number of contact or instructional hours by10. Thus, an eight hour session would be eligible to grant eight tenths (.8) of a SB-CEU.*
		• 3 SB-CEUs are equivalent to 1 semester credit hour (for certificate renewal only). • All programs awarding SB-CEUs must be approved by the Michigan Department of Education. • To offer SB-CEUs, an in-service, workshop or training must be a minimum of 3 hours; a conference must be a minimum of 5 hours.
		Why should I get SB-CEUs?
		• Receiving SB-CEUs verifies:
		• The offering was approved by the State Board of Education. • You were in attendance for the entire offering.
		• SB-CEUs are accepted as proof of professional development for various certificates and credentials, and for training mandated by the State of Michigan Department of Human Services, Office of Children and Adult Licensing.
