PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR LICENSED SUBSTITUTES

Cabarrus County Schools periodically offers workshops to assist our substitutes that need continuing education credits for licensure.  Opportunities will be listed here as they are scheduled.  Please review periodically if interested.

For workshops offered to substitutes through Cabarrus County Schools, the Substitute Professional Development Verification Form  must be completed and signed by the facilitator of each workshop in order to receive credit.  

Please hold on to all of your CEUs until you have completed the required amount of hours.  Please know, you should look for workshops that are related to your teaching license.  Once ALL CEUs are completed, you may contact Human Resources for assistance.
