Professional Growth

NEA-Alaska has resources and opportunities to help members at every career stage and in every education profession.
Published: March 2024

NEA-Alaska is now a DEED-approved CEU provider, so our approved courses may be used for certificate renewal. In addition, NEA-Alaska has worked with UAA to offer our members the opportunity to earn and purchase university credits for our courses, and courses offered by NEA.

Micro-Credentials

NEA-Alaska is proud to offer NEA Micro-Credentials— a simple way for educators to learn new skills and get recognized for them!

Think of a micro-credential as a small, focused learning opportunity that shows you’ve mastered a specific topic or skill. They’re designed to be practical, flexible, and useful for your everyday teaching.

Here’s the best part: as an NEA-Alaska member, you can complete these micro-credentials for FREE. You can also submit them to the Alaska Department of Education (DEED) for your teaching certificate renewal — with no extra fees. This benefit alone can save you over $300 every time you renew your certificate.

Plus, if you're interested in moving up on the pay scale, you can choose to purchase university credits for just $79 each, making this an affordable way to invest in your career.
