Conference CEU's...
Hello all,
With our Spring Conference right around
the corner I need to remind our members of the changes regarding CEU’s. As
of January 1, 2011, the state requires all CEU providers to use teacher Educator
Identification Numbers (EIN) rather than the Social
Security Number or the last four digits of the Social Security Number. The
EIN is a random ten digit number assigned to all certified teachers. To
help issue CEU certificates in a timely fashion, I am asking all of our
members to e-mail me their EIN.
The problem I foresee with this change
is a majority of us do not know our EIN. All certified teachers have been
assigned a ten digit EIN by the Connecticut State Department of Education
however; they have not done a good job making all of us aware of our EIN.
Speaking with teachers throughout the state, this seems to be the common
problem.
Here are a few ways you can
retrieve your EIN:
1.
All districts are required to have the EIN’s of all the certified teachers
within their district. Contact your
Human Resources for your EIN. I have also found out that not all
districts have updated their personnel
files to
include this information.
2.
The EIN is printed on teaching certificates. Certificates that have been
issued or renewed since March
2009 contain your EIN.
3.
You may log into the Connecticut Educator
Certification System
http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/cwp/view.asp?a=2613&Q=322260
to access your EIN.
I would
suggest creating an account. The advantage of creating an account is to
access your EIN, keep
track of your certification status, renew certificates online and access
other pertinent data regarding your
certification.
4.
You can log into Protraxx to
access your account. Protraxx is a Professional Development Management
software package that the state RECS (Regional
Educational Service Centers such as ACES and LEARN)
and many districts are using. If you have recently
attended any workshops with your local RESC then you
had to register using Protraxx. The following site can
be used to log into Protraxx (http://protraxx.com/).
Here are the
steps to find your EIN within Protraxx.
1.
Select staff profile under the Reports tab (top of screen). Your personal
information will be displayed on the left side of screen. Your EIN is a ten
digit number will be listed as your employee number.
To help manage
your CEU’s offered by CTEA, I would like for all members to e-mail me
grenierd@madison.k12.ct.us your
EIN. Not only will this make my job easier but it will also make it easier
for you. You will not be required to sign in with your EIN at any future
CTEA sponsored workshop. Your signature is all that will be required. Good
luck with the new school year and hope to see you at our Spring Conference.
