UPJ to offer Act 48 continuing ed classes
This spring Pitt-Johnstown will begin offering Pennsylvania Act 48-approved continuing education classes.
The program will serve pre-K-12 teachers in 300 schools throughout a 79-district region including Cambria, Somerset, Bedford, Blair, Clearfield, Indiana, Westmoreland and Fayette counties.
Act 48 requires teachers to complete 180 contact hours in continuing education activities every five years in order to maintain their state certification.
According to program director Paul Douglas Newman, “The Pitt-Johnstown program will offer content-based programming to assist teachers with revising or adding new content to their lessons, in addition to pedagogical and issue-based topics.”
Credits will be available through half-day Saturday sessions, day-long symposia or week-long institutes.
The first program will be held April 17. For more information, call Newman at 814/269-2987 or email ACT48UPJ@pitt.edu.
