Long2Learn is a division of Long Educational Consulting, LLC.
The Terms of Service outlines our policies and procedures for course signup, participation and completion.
All Continuing Education Units (CEU), Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and Professional Enrichment Courses are graded on a pass/fail basis. Participants are required to complete all assignments, projects, and collaborative group work to obtain credit(s) and Certificate of Completion for the course. All course completions are recorded on the Long2Learn Course Completion Form (CCF) within ONE WEEK after the course term has ended. A Long2Learn Certificate of Completion will be issued for CEU and CPD course completions within (30) days.
CPD and/or CEU credits are awarded based on hours of the course. Most of the online courses are taught asynchronously (fewer than 80% or more of the total hours at the students’ pace within a specified range of days and times). All assignments, discussion groups, and assessments must be completed within the timeframe allotted weekly for courses. Each participant is expected to arrive on time for all synchronous (live and real time) course sessions. Completion of all assignments within the time specified on the course syllabus, is mandatory. Students are also required to attend all classes to receive the CPD or CEU credits and certificate.
Course participants are not permitted to miss any classes for a one-credit/unit or two-credit/unit course, or more than one class for a three-credit/unit course and still be eligible for credit. In the event of an extenuating circumstance, the participant should contact the course instructor and provide documentation of the extenuating circumstance. During synchronous learning, children are not permitted to attend classes. Please plan for childcare prior to the start of class. This will ensure that all participants attend and participate in class without interruption.
Faith-based Private School employees, Home School Teachers, Charter School, and Public-School employees are eligible to participate in Long2Learn credit-bearing and non-credit bearing courses. Non-educator employees are not eligible to receive Continuing Education Units (CEU) or Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credit-bearing courses.
All enrichment, professional growth, CPD and CEU credit-bearing courses will take place in a Virtual (Online) format. Course instructors will provide further details of synchronous and asynchronous learning in their course syllabus. All enrichment and professional growth non-credit bearing courses will be asynchronous.
Long2Learn (L2L) reserves the right to cancel any course offering when there is insufficient enrollment or at the discretion of the CEO. When course participants have paid for a course that is canceled, the participant may receive a full refund or be given an opportunity to enroll in a different course. Long2Learn also reserves the right to postpone synchronous classes, limit the number of participants who may register for a course. Participants will be notified before the class begins through the L2L communication platform.
Within two weeks of the conclusion of each course, participants MAY be asked to volunteer to complete a Course Evaluation Form/Survey that will be electronically sent. This will enable Long2Learn to improve the quality of course content and adjust or revise online teaching practices. Participants are not required to identify themselves and may respond anonymously.
Long2Learn (L2L) makes professional development opportunities available during the Spring (February-April), Summer (June-August) and Fall (September-November) months. Continuing Professional Development and Continuing Education Unit courses may be offered Mondays through Fridays online at 6 p.m. or at alternate times. Dates, days, and times for courses are located in the Professional Teaching and Learning Information Course Guide, instructors’ course syllabus, and on the Long2Learn marketing website.
If unforeseen circumstances prevent a participant from taking the course, he/she should notify the instructor immediately to drop the course. No refund is given after the first class.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Certificates are provided digitally to participants within 2 weeks upon course completion. Duplicate copies of certificates may be obtained for a fee of $15. A request should be made via the Certificate Request Form. Payments must be received and processed prior to receiving L2L Continuing Professional Development Certificate.
If a synchronous class must be canceled due to an emergency, participants will be notified before the class begins through the L2L communication platform. The instructor is responsible for providing make-up materials and resources.
The number of CEU & CPD credits assigned to courses are determined by the number of hours interacting and engaging with course assignments led by the instructor.
Hours, Units, and Credits
| 6 hours= 1 CEU | 15 hours of engagement = 1 CPD credit |
| 12 hours of activity = 2 CEUs | 30 hours of engagement = 2 CPD credits |
| 18 hours of activity = 3 CEUs | 45 hours of engagement = 3 CPD credits |
Upon successful completion the participant may present their certificate or letter of completion to their school’s Principal or school district’s Human Resource Office for further information regarding certification, professional status, or salary changes.
The Long2Learn Professional Development Program, grants Continuing Education Units (CEU) to ACSI approved courses that meet the requirement of 6-18 hours of direct instruction. Homework, reading assignments, and writing projects are a part of each course; however, completion of these activities is in addition to the hours of direct instruction. Participants must attend all scheduled courses to receive CEUs. No CEUs will be granted before completion of the program.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) experiences may provide opportunities for Maryland educators to earn credits necessary for obtaining and/or renewal of Maryland State Department of Education certification. Check with your state or school district to verify use of CPD courses toward certification and or renewal.
The Long2Learn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program courses have been approved by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and have a MSDE course number such as (16-00-00) that hold CPD credit and can be used toward renewal of the teaching certificate.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are awarded to those who successfully complete non-credit courses designed to improve the knowledge, skills, and instructional practices within the classroom. Long Educational Consulting, LLC is approved by the Association of Christian Schools International (ASCI) to be a CEU Course Provider to faith-based schools and educators seeking accreditation and/or certification renewal. All offered courses are created with the educator in mind to build teacher capacity and efficacy in the areas of professional growth.
Face-to-Face professional learning opportunities are canceled when schools are closed or evening activities are canceled and/or when weather related events are harmful to the safety of participants. All affected participants are to check the Long2Learn Dashboard for weather related or other pertinent announcements and updates.
Participants in CEU and/or CPD courses are expected to complete all course work by timeline established by the instructor and/or the last scheduled class meeting. An “incomplete” is assigned by the instructor for rare or extraordinary situations that have been reviewed and approved by the CEO. In such cases, permission must be obtained in writing prior to the conclusion of the course and all assignments/projects must be received no later than four days after the course has ended if credit or units are to be awarded.
The Long2Learn Professional Development Course Certificate is the documentation needed by participants showing evidence of course completion and the units and credits earned toward teacher certification, renewal, and ongoing professional growth and development.
Professional Development Reports take approximately 2 weeks to be processed, after grades and final rosters are submitted by the course instructor to Long2Learn Coordinator. Once the coordinator has processed and completed the certificate, it will be digitally sent to the participant’s registered in the course. No information will be sent directly to the participants’ school or Human Resource Office by Long2Learn or Long Educational Consulting, LLC. It is the responsibility of each participant to provide course completion and certificate documentation to their school’s administration or Human Resource Office, accreditation organization, and/or state’s Department of Education.
Courses requiring the purchase of a textbook prior to the start of a course are indicated in the course syllabus.
If all course requirements are not met and/or a participant does not pass a course, unit(s) nor credit(s) will be issued. To receive units/credits, the participant who did not pass the course, must re-register, re-pay the appropriate course fee, and successfully complete the course.
Most CEU and CPD courses held, will take place in a Virtual (Online) format (unless otherwise specified), on the Long2Learn platform or course syllabus. For synchronous class sessions, dates and times will be provided by the instructor, as well as listed in the course syllabus. Asynchronous assignments (Homework, projects, collaboration boards, reports, and reviews) and due dates will have specific timelines for submission. Dates listed under each course are Virtual meeting dates. Instructors will provide their Virtual Office dates and times for question-and-answer sessions.
