Standard Professional Development Units (PDU’s) While most educators need PDU’s (formerly known as CEU’s) to renew or upgrade their license, not all educators need college credit. To assist educators with advanced degrees, OAEA has developed a Standard Professional Development Unit form to make it easier for conference attendees, workshop presenters, and OAEA state and local leaders to receive credit for time spent in professional development. OAEA professional development units can be submitted to local professional development committees for application toward licensure renewal.
If you do not need professional development units to apply toward your PK-12 licensure, consider adding the Standard PDU form to your professional portfolio to document the professional work you have done to assist you in finding employment, or receiving promotion and tenure.
OAEA Leaders who want to both earn additional PDUs and provide PDU credit-earning opportunities for members: Follow this simple process to receive verification of your OAEA leadership and/or knowledge sharing.

Fill in your name and OAEA Region or OAEA Division.
Select one box indicating the PDU credit for which you are requesting verification (this can be completed at the OAEA Conference).
List the activity by name

Email the completed form to the professional development chairs or simply stop by the Professional Development table at Conference for instant verification.
OAEA is committed to your professional development needs. This is one of the major perks of your membership! Take advantage of it! If you ever have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly: [email protected]
