Continuing Professional Education (CPE) in Pennsylvania is a planned, competency-based, ongoing, alternative program whereby professional educators can earn Act 48 hours, renew initial certification, obtain permanent certification, attain a Master's Equivalency Certificate, or simply improve skills. The Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 and CPE Design Team offer this program as a service to educators. All instructional faculty have demonstrated expertise in their field and are currently working in their area of expertise. Individuals should check local school district policy if they wish to use CPE credits for purposes other than those outlined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE).
The courses listed are organized and sponsored by IU 13. However, any school district or school-related organization may submit programs to the Design Team. Upon approval by the local Design Team and PDE, courses may be offered for CPE credit.
