Who can provide CPE hours?
It is the responsibility of the educator to verify the approval status of the CPE provider prior to completion of the CPE activities. All entities or individuals interested in providing CPE hours must apply for approval by TEA. If an entity or individual provides CPE activities on behalf of an approved provider, the approved provider is responsible for ensuring compliance with quality and documentation requirements. CPE providers may include the following: • Texas public school districts, provided that staff development activities are developed, approved, and conducted in accordance with the site-based decision-making process; • accredited public and private schools in other states, United States territories, and countries outside Texas; • regional education service centers; accredited institutions of higher education; • education associations that have offered professional development in Texas for at least five years and have tax-exempt status under federal law or state associations t
