Teachers: As of April 1st, 2024, new Maryland educator licensure regulations went into effect. These new regulations include changes to how teachers complete professional development activities for license renewal. Within the new regulations, teachers now have many more options for professional development outside of Continuing Professional Development courses (CPDs). Professional development activities do not need to be CPDs and can instead be professional development activities that the employee and their employer agree upon in the teacher's Individual Professional Development Plan. Any teacher who is attending Techniques for Success and would like professional development credit for attending can submit evidence of attendance to their employer. For more information on professional development points, please use the following link Professional Development Points.
Occupational Therapists: The TFS Conference has been approved by the Maryland Board of Occupational Therapy Practice as a continuing competency program applying to occupational therapy principles and procedures.
Speech-Language Pathologists: The TFS Conference meets the requirements set forth by ASHA for acceptable professional development opportunities that may be used towards certification maintenance.
