The TEC Leader provides much information about TEC programs. Finally, at TEC there are additional personnel who will answer questions and provide support in the professional development and recertification process. In general, the number of MPP's earned is determined by the number of contact hours spent with the instructor and the number of independent hours involved in each inservice. A total of 120 MPP's is required to renew a Professional Certificate. An application can be obtained from a TEC Leader or the TEC office.
Every school has the capability to retrieve inservice records.
This is done by accessing the SDES screen on the computer. Please ask your school secretary or contact the TEC office for assistance. An explanatory memorandum is available from TEC upon request. It takes approximately four to six weeks for the course instructor to complete the grading process and turn the paperwork in to TEC, and for TEC to encode the MPP's on the inservice records of all participants. The TEC Leader can provide a missing course form.
