Helpful Hub Tip of the Month: Fresh start! New school year! New professional development opportunities! Please consider making an organizational plan for maintaining your course completion Renewal Unit Certificates. How? We suggest you download your certificate immediately upon completion of a course; save it on your personal computer, especially if you are using a school computer and happen to change schools, and name the file so you can easily tell what it is in order to find it in the future. In addition, we strongly encourage everyone to print a hard copy and place it in their personal file, should your computer ever glitch. In that way, you ALWAYS have quick and easy access to your Renewal Unit Certificates when it comes time to share them. (We have no guarantees that we will be able to retrieve them for you.)
