CEUs may be earned anumber of ways, including workshops and courses at nearby institutions, however this can beproblematic. One-shot workshops designed for teacher enrichment can be useful, howeverlonger-term PD programs are required to support standards which reach all students [15]. Thelimitations of the

Astin’s involvement model shows thatthe academic performance of a student is directly correlated to their involvement level within theircollege or program [2, 3]. Tinto theorizes that poor integration into the many facets of college life,including academically and socially, is an early indication of a student having a higher risk ofdropping out [4-6].
