Can I get district credit or hours toward re-certification for attending an in-service or institute?
Whether or not your district gives you credit or not is up to them. Each teacher that attends an in-service receives a detailed agenda as well as a signed certificate of attendance with the number of hours completed printed right on it. As for institutes, we work with a university to provide the opportunity for teachers to get credit hours. Of course, it is up to the teachers to pay any tuition to the university.
