It is the educator’s professional responsibility to keep up with the proof of all professional
                  development activities that he/she personally attends and to make certain that attendance
                  is validated.

       A personal planning form for the conference is included in the program and is emailed to each
       registered attendee. A copy may also be found at SCCTM.org. A certificate of attendance will be
       emailed to each registered attendee after the conference in the month of December.

          •  To prepare for your teaching license renewal, please print and save both electronic
              and physical copies of your certificate(s) of attendance. Additionally, print and fill
              out “Your Personal SCCTM Proof of Session Attendance Sheet” with the
              information for the SCCTM Conference sessions you attended.
          •  Keep your SCCTM certificate and attendance sheet together along with the
              records from all other district-approved workshops and conferences you've completed
              during your certificate renewal timeframe. This organized filing system will make your
              license renewal process simple and stress-free.
          •  A Note on Record Keeping: Due to storage costs, SCCTM cannot maintain session
              attendance records indefinitely, and our email tracking is limited to six months. After
              six months, SCCTM cannot email duplicate certificates. Please save and print your
              certificate immediately upon receiving it. Also, keep a copy of your session attendance
              record. You may check your SCCTM email log at any time to find your certificates
              emailed out in December.

       "Educators holding a South Carolina Department of Education issued Professional certificate are only
       eligible to receive renewal credit for professional development activities at the approval of their employing

                              General Information About Certification Renewal

            1.  SCCTM sessions and workshops vary in duration and are credited based on minutes.
            2.  You can also earn up to 60 minutes for reviewing the instructional materials in the exhibit
               hall area.
            3.  Each  hour  of  attendance  in  sessions  or  workshops  equates  to  one  (1)  credit  point.
               Calculate  your  total  points  earned  by  adding  session  and  workshop  minutes,  then
               dividing by 60.
            4.  Certificates of attendance to be included as conference attendance proof will be emailed to each
               attendee. Your personal session attendance log, along the emailed certificate will be your proof of
               credit points earned.
            5.  Retain the emailed certificate, along with your completed forms and personal
               planning sheets in your own Certificate Renewal File for submission according to
               your district’s procedures.

                       Keeping up with their own professional development points and proof for
                       recertification is each attendee’s personal and professional responsibility.

             If you served as a speaker and wish to receive a speaker’s certificate, please email
             your request to: director@scctmconference.org. A copy will be emailed to you.
