Welcome! The Nevada Department of Education has granted approval for Nevada teachers and administrators completing this course to receive 1 continuing education credit (CEU). Nurses completing this course accumulate 16 hours of training. School Food Service members accumulate 16 hours of training. Early childhood educators accumulate 8 hours of training. This program has also been approved by the Commission on Dietetic Registration for ญญ16 CPEUs.'" Suggested learning codes are: 4020, 4030, 4040, 4080, 4160. This course should be completed in a minimum of 16 hours. However, with the resources provided, a participant could conceivably spend days reviewing all the materials. The course was designed to allow a participant to cover the content areas and then review the lesson plans, tools, and resources applicable to grade levels of interest. The course is outlined in the following format:
The pre-test must be completed to advance through to the modules. Both the lesson plan questions and the post-test must be completed to finish a module. It is possible to return to the module for review or resources once each module has been completed. The post-test must be completed with a score of 80% or greater. A certificate will be generated to document CEU activities after completion of the course. Teachers are required to input their licensure number to enable creation of a participant list for the Licensure Office. The data derived from participation in the program is maintained in aggregate form and will not be used by the Nevada Department of Education to identify specific participants.
