FAQs About the Educators In Industry Courses
1. How many Educators in Industry Courses are available?
All Summit attendees are eligible to complete annually, and in sequence, one of three Educators in Industry courses:
- Educators in Industry
- Educators in Industry Advanced
- Educators in Industry Implementation. (This course requires board policy development and presentation.)
2. How many recertification hours can I earn through the Educators in Industry courses (EIC)?
For each of the courses that you successfully complete, you can earn 3 hours of recertification credits. Please note: It is the responsibility of each attendee to make sure that earning recertification credits by the EIC courses or by tracking your session attendance is appropriate and approved for his or her personal professional development plan.
3. How do I register for the course?
Select the course on your Summit Registration Form. Once you do this, you will automatically receive course materials in the mail prior to the Summit. Attend a session during each time period throughout the Summit and take notes pertaining to each session. EIC participants must attend the EIC seminar held on the last morning of the Summit (see Summit Program for details). If you do not receive materials prior to the Summit, or you decide to register for a course after registering for the Summit, you should see an Education Associate at the EIC Help Table when you pick up your Summit packet at registration on Sunday afternoon.
4. What does the course consist of?
In addition to the concurrent sessions that you choose to attend, you will be required to attend several specific sessions during the Summit, including a meeting at the conference close on Thursday. You will also have writing assignments to complete and follow-up assignments to be completed by the fall. Details about specific course requirements will be shared at the required EIC seminar on the last day of the Summit.
5. Can I also get credits by tracking my session attendance with stickers?
No—You may do either, but not both. Attendance at a required number of Summit sessions is already calculated into the number of credits that you will earn by completing the course.
6. What does it cost to take the course?
The Educators in Industry courses are available at no cost to you. You may only take a course once, but they are a resource that every career and technology educator should consider for acquiring certificate
renewal credits.
