LAC 46:XXV.1307. Continuing Education Teaching Credit

A. Continuing education credit may be earned through teaching in an approved continuing education activity, provided that the social worker is the primary presenter. 1. Presentations accompanied by thorough, high quality, readable, and carefully prepared written materials will qualify for continuing education credit on the basis of six hours of credit for each instructional hour of presentation. The continuing education approval organization must review the submitted materials for sufficiency in order for the presenter to qualify for credit under this Subparagraph. 2. Presentations accompanied by one- or two-page outlines or not accompanied by written materials will qualify for continuing education credit on the basis of three hours of credit per hour of presentation. 3. Repeat presentations qualify for one half of the credits available for the initial presentation. 4. In the event more than one social worker presents a continuing education presentation, teaching credit shall be divided among the number of presenters for each hour of presentation. 5. The social worker is responsible for securing and retaining appropriate documentation for teaching credit from the continuing education approval organization that approves the teaching credit. B. Credit may also be earned through teaching a course in a Council on Social Work Education-accredited program. 1. A social worker will earn six hours of continuing education credit for each hour of academic credit awarded by the college or university for the course. 2. Repeat courses taught qualify for one half of the credits available for the initial course taught unless the material has been substantially changed or updated. 3. The social worker is responsible for securing and retaining appropriate documentation for teaching credit. 4. Credit will be awarded upon completion of the course. C. Subject to the additional limitations of §1313 of this Chapter, no social worker may earn more than eighteen hours of continuing education credit per collection period through teaching. D. Teaching credit awarded pursuant to this section will retain the designation of the material taught. For example, social workers giving a clinical continuing education presentation will receive clinical continuing education credit pursuant to this section.
