Finding CEUs
Updated November 21, 2011
Quick Notes
- Adult learning research tells us that adults learn and transfer knowledge and skills attained when they have time to learn, use what they have learned and reflect on what they have learned to inform practice. CEUs are designed to address adult learner needs and improve early care and school age settings.
- Early childhood research tells us that the education of the teacher impacts the quality of child care settings — the more education the teacher has, the better the quality of child care.
- CEUs are used by most professions as a source of ongoing training.
- Public school teachers often take CEUs in one-hour increments. Why? Because they are building their knowledge upon four-years of college education. The majority of teachers working with young children do not yet hold a college degree, requiring that more in-depth training be provided.
Learn more about CEUs by visiting the Institute’s Continuing Education Library.
