To register for these workshops, fill out the registration form on back and mail along with the fee for workshop.  You will receive an email with the access code and    information to get started.  Grad credit is available at an additional cost; you will be prompted at the end of course and informed of the process on how to apply and pay for grad credit.  Cost listed here is for the course only, payable to ROE.

Due to the great response to these courses, the ROE will continue to partner with CE Credits Online for another year.  To date, 132 teachers have taken one or more of the classes offered. These will be ongoing offerings through the school year.  In order to get these courses for the cost shown, you must register through your ROE.  Please do not include the cost of grad credit when you pay for your course.  This will be collected through CE Credits Online and you will be prompted at the end of your course to fill out some paper work and pay your grad credit then.  For additional information on registration please  contact Julie Cox at 309/736-1111 or email julie.cox@riroe.com
