The WCU Master In-Service Program is a Continuing Education OUTREACH program designed to assist school districts with helping teachers earn CEUs to renew their teaching licenses through quality professional development facilitated by school personnel for a school’s faculty within the district or on school-site. Enrollment allows you to submit professional development conducted within your schools and/or district for CEU credit contingent upon MDE guidelines and qualifications. Membership dues to the program are $300 per school and are paid annually from July 1st to June 30th of each calendar year.
