Is there any other way to earn credits in School Administration?
Yes: Through the nature of the work, exposure to the legislative and regulatory requirements, as well as understanding the practical applications of many of the Areas of Practice, the Executive recognizes the contributions of members serving on specialized committees and for members serving on the Provincial Executive for a minimum of 2 years. A maximum of 6 hrs may be applied for.
