Welcome

2021 ANNUAL READING, LITERACY, & LEARNING CONFERENCE CONTINUING EDUCATION

Our conference offers the opportunity to further your own education. See our continuing education options below. Individuals should contact their employers and agencies before coming to the conference to determine whether CEUs are applicable to their specific situation.

VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEUS)

For professionals in education, psychology, counseling, and other areas, CEUs will be available through Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). Although not equivalent to VCU undergraduate or graduate credits, CEUs are recorded on a VCU certificate and a transcript that can be obtained without charge as often as requested. CEUs are accepted by many state agencies and professional organizations as evidence of contact or clock hours toward certificate renewal.

One CEU is defined as ten (10) contact hours. It is possible to earn a total of 2.1 CEUs by attending all live conference sessions, October 21 through October 23. CEUs can be earned for one to three days, but not for partial-day attendance. The on-demand program is offered for up to 9.0 CEUs. A $30 processing fee will be charged and must be paid directly via VCU website, www.ocpe.vcu.edu.

• Attendees must indicate the need for credit through VCU during the registration process

• Attendees must complete the electronic check-in form each morning.

More details will be provided.

• Once you are finished attending sessions, you MUST return your CEU packet to conference@dyslexiaida.org to receive your credits. Separate forms are required for the live presentation and the on-demand period.

PLEASE NOTE:

Continuing education credits can only be offered for those sessions for which attendees are registered. Please contact your employer or agency prior to attending the conference to determine what is required for you to obtain credit hours.
