Asynchronous Courses for TPEP

WEA is providing professional development asynchronous courses on the Canvas learning management system (LMS). The two courses below are available at no charge to members. Register for each course using the link listed next to the course name. You will receive an email confirmation from WEA as well as a registration email from Instructure/Canvas. Once you complete the course including the evaluation, you will receive a clock hour verification form within 7-10 business days.

These courses were created with flexibility in mind, hence there are no due dates for discussions or assignments, except for the final deadlines each year. You will move through the course at your own pace. Think of the course like a book with some interaction. While there are no due dates, there are some important deadlines listed below.

Important Deadlines:

- Monday, May 29, 2023	Last day to register for a course
- Monday, June 5, 2023*	Last day to complete course content, including discussions, assignments, and resubmissions
- Monday, June 19, 2023	Last day to complete the End of Course Evaluation

*June 30, 2023 is the last day to submit an application through OSPI eCertification to renew certificates expiring June 30, 2023. However, WEA needs time to process your clock hours and time to address any issues that may occur, which is why the last date to complete any courses needed for certificate renewal is June 5th.
