				bachelor's degree may be accepted based on level of experience,

				hours to be offered; all requirements and expectations (e.g., participation,

				multispeaker events an electronic copy of the program is required; a document
				that includes session descriptions; and completion of the matrix of presenters
				specifying their educational credentials, topics to be addressed, and the
				length in hours and minutes of each presenter's presentations.

				requirements must be communicated to the participants prior to the start of the
				event.
(1) Participants must hold a minimum of

				ways but must, at a minimum, include participant verification of attendance,
				documenting the required fifteen clock-hours per credit (e.g., session sign-in
				sheet, session summary) and an assignment designed to elicit from the
				participants their ability to apply concepts and knowledge learned at the
				conference in their own teaching and work situations (e.g., lesson plan,
				summary paper, group project/paper). An assessment rubric is required for
				letter grading but not for satisfactory or unsatisfactory grading.
