Do you ever wonder how you found your way into this profession? Some of us became teachers because of an amazing teacher or two from our primary/secondary days. We were encouraged by their support and feedback and thought it would be great to pass that on to future generations! Some of us had an amazing coach - in sports, visual or performing arts, or an after-school program. Can you picture that teacher or coach?

We know you have been through a lot these past few years! You went from your day-to-day classroom tasks, to teaching through Zoom, to teaching with a mask! And here you are - you're back at it! You continue to inspire young people to "do more and reach for more!"

Thank you for faithfully executing all the day-to-day tasks that go unnoticed; for the firm approaches that help students understand important classroom procedures; and for the kind words and affirmations you offer up to make a sad face smile! As you do remember, your students are watching you! Yours will be the face they see when they become our future teachers!

During this busy time of the year, many educators prepare to close the school year.

If YOU need SCECHs for certificate renewal, please consider the 350+ SCECH-eligible courses in EduPaths.

EduPaths submits SCECHs to MOECS twice monthly, typically on/around the 1st and 15th of each month. For additional information, please visit: SCECH - What is the timeline for receiving credit in the MOECS system?

Are you requesting SCECH credit in May or June?

IMPORTANT: Educators must request SCECH credit with EduPaths by May 15. Submitting after this date cannot guarantee that credits will be awarded before June 30.
