ATTENDING OUR EVENTS LIVE OR WATCHING THE RECORDINGS

Below is the process for earning PDHs/CEUs for attending or watching recordings of our learning events. We give credit hours out in sets of 12; the first set each year is included with your membership. There is a $15 processing fee for additional sets unless you are a group member, in which case they are free.   ​

• Watch 12 hours of content via live COSEM events or recorded on-demand events on our view-trackable Member Site. Fill out this form for each live event attended or on-demand event watched.

• When you've reached 12 hours, fill out this evaluation form and pay the processing fee of $15 here if applicable.

• We will verify your attendance/viewing and email you your Evidence of Completion document within 2 weeks.

​

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the past, members were required to submit a document to hello@educatingmindfully.org listing the events that they watched (rather than filling out a form for each one). Since some members may have already started keeping track of their viewing hours this way, we will also accept this method.
