Submitting CEUs  *Updated for 2017-2018*

All district licensed staff will submit their personal CEU information electronically via a Google form. The form will be available in August 2017. The Forest Lake Continuing Education Committee will meet two times during the 2017-2018 school year to approve the submitted clock hours. Hours will be uploaded to MDE after the committee meets in December and May.  

If you have questions related to CEUs or relicensure, please contact the person assigned to your building or Kelli Frericks, committee chair.

Continuing Education Unit (CEU) forms for many Forest Lake Area Schools professional development sessions can be found in the FLAS CEU Forms folder. Forms are organized by academic year and listed in chronological order; beginning with 2017-2018 building folders are also included for building-specific CEUs. Note that this folder is only accessible through your district Google Account.

FLAS Pre-Approval Travel/Work Experience Form
Educators must request prior approval of CEUs for travel or work experiences by completing a copy of the FLAS Travel/Work Experience Pre-Approval Form and submitting it to their CEU Committee member in advance of the experience for which they are requesting the CEUs.

Friendly Reminders from the CEU Committee:
  • Login to MDE to review your relicensure status and any CEU hours and requirements remaining.
  • Ensure that all information is entered accurately in the CEU online form--including name, file folder number, dates, mandatory requirements, etc.
  • Submit your CEUs to the online form regularly throughout each year rather than waiting and submitting them all at once when you are due for relicensure.
  • Don’t submit additional hours beyond the required 125 other than those needed to meet the mandatory requirements. 
  • Keep a copy of any CEUs you submit until you confirm that the hours have been documented in the MDE Online Licensure System.
  • Keep in mind that the committee members are your colleagues and are not paid for this work...treat them kindly, and submit your CEU information in a timely manner to make their job easier!
