Ethics Remediation Courses for Licensed Educators
When a board order, consent agreement or condition of reinstatement calls for ethics coursework, point the educator to a self-paced online course. Educators can start right away, work at their own pace, and submit a certificate of completion to your office.
How coursework fits a case
Specify the coursework
Name the course and hours in the order or agreement, or set the topic and hours and approve the educator’s choice.
Send the course link
Share the link with the deadline. The educator enrolls, works at their own pace and receives a certificate of completion.
Verify and close out
Confirm the certificate with us, add it to the case file, and record completion against the terms of the order.
Match the conduct to a course
Find the conduct at issue, then open a recommended course to review its details. Recommendations apply to all educators unless noted.
Each course opens its details page in a new window.
