Dear Non-public School Administrators,
In order to accommodate the effort required to transition classroom instruction to distance learning, the Michigan Association of Non-public Schools (MANS) worked with the Michigan Department of Education to create a new State Continuing Education Clock Hour (SCECH) hour program. Under this newly created program, administrators and educators may earn
up to 25 SCECHs in recognition of the time educators needed to prepare for distance learning.
This is a one-time opportunity and is limited to activities conducted as the COVID-19 pandemic
necessitated
physical school closings.
Documentation is needed for participation in this program. Please review the MANS Online Teaching Preparation SCECH Packet which has four parts:
- Online Teaching Preparation Description- This document outlines the program;
- Online Teaching Preparation Checklist - This offers you a quick glance at mandatory items and approved activities;
- SCECH Participant Verification Form - Please email to Shelley Long, with Online Teaching Preparation Spreadsheet.
- Online Teaching Preparation Spreadsheet - Use this to track PD activities and email with the Verification Form.
Submit all items to Shelley Long at
slong@m-a-n-s.org
. Then, please have your administrator review and approve the Online Teaching Preparation Spreadsheet and ask them to send Shelley an approval email. Once received, Shelley will send the educator an invoice for $20.00. This may be paid online or by check that can be mailed to MANS, 510 S. Capitol Avenue, Lansing, MI 48933 (MANS staff are working from home. There may be a slight delay in processing your payment).
Questions on this process may be directed to Shelley Long at
slong@m-a-n-s.org
or you may call her work phone number: 517-372-0012 and leave a voicemail. She will call you back promptly.
Thank you, and may God bless you and your family and school community!
