On July 1, 2020, the Michigan Department of Education eliminated self-reported district provided professional development (DPPD) and now require school districts to apply for SCECHs for the 30 annual required professional learning hours. School districts, at their discretion, may choose to award SCECHs through MOECS for additional activities such as:

• Supervising/mentoring a student teacher/counselor/psychologist
• Participating on an approved school committee or school improvement team
• Attending professional learning at another institution that is NOT offering SCECHs

Participants must pay a $10.00 SCECH fee, payable by credit card (Mastercard or Visa) and attend professional learning, and sign in each day (for face-to-face programs). The SCECH fee is payable at the conclusion of the program. Approximately 2-3 weeks after completion of the course, participants will be emailed detailed instructions and a link to complete the required MDE evaluation of the course. Once the evaluation has been completed MDE will award SCECHs.
