Professional Learning Units (PLUs)
Savannah State University's Department of Continuing
Education's Professional Learning Center for Educators
offers teachers the opportunity to earn Professional
Learning Units (PLUs) online. In the State of Georgia,
teachers are currently required to complete 10 PLUs
every 5 years in order to retain their teaching
certificates.
Only the courses listed on the approved course list
may be taken to earn PLUs. Each course is approved for 2
PLUs unless otherwise specified.
After making your course selection, please complete
the
prior approval form before beginning the course. If
you are currently teaching, it is your responsibility to
print this form, complete it, and have your System
Superintendent or Professional Learning Coordinator sign
it. If you are not presently employed as a teacher, you
must also print this form, complete it, and sign it. A
legible copy of the completed form must be submitted to
the Director of Continuing Education before you
begin any course.
Upon successful completion of your online course, you
will be able to print an online Certificate of
Completion for the course. This Certificate must be
faxed or mailed to the Department of Continuing
Education. A Professional Learning Unit (PLU) Course
Completion Form will be issued to you after the receipt
of this documentation. If you are currently teaching,
the Course Completion form should be given to your
Professional Learning Coordinator for your school
system. When you are ready to renew your teaching
certificate, you will attach the Professional Learning
Unit (PLU) Course Completion Form to your renewal
application which can be found on the Professional
Standards Commission website:
