Hi Tammy,
Yes, teacher recertification credit is possible as long as it is worked out with your human resource officer. The cost for teachers who are recertifying is $25; please write a note on the registration form that you are a teacher & your school district. If you have any further questions, email jereial.fletcher@sw.edu.
Thanks, Robyn
One of the best workshops I ever attended had a college credit incentive to it and it was well worth my time and cost. I feel sure that those of you who wish to attend this symposium for that purpose will be very glad you did. We hope to see you this summer.
