CPE hours are required when renewing your TEA educator license. Luckily, the Modules found in Academy can count towards your CPE hours.
What are CPE hours?
Here is the definition of CPE Hours from TEA's website: (https://tea.texas.gov/texas-educators/preparation-and-continuing-education/continuing-professional-education-cpe)
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) is required for all Texas educators holding a standard certificate. The appropriate number of clock-hours of continuing professional education (CPE) must be completed during each five-year renewal period.
