If you don't have permanant certification (after 2004?ish) than you need 175 (?) professional development hours, every 5 (?) years to keep your certification valid

I have initial certification
(I have a masters in education but my bachelors degree is in something else)
What kinds of courses are these? Are they college courses that you pay for?

Im a NYC teacher and I spoke to the UFT rep and she told me those 175 hours of continuing PD are counted into our new contract....
Im getting nervous now
I took in service credits for my +30- I hope that counts!!!!! - I called the doe and they told me it did but you know how you cant be too sure with them....

Wait, now I'm confused again....
Can we get the 175 credits anytime in the 5 years? Also, is this EVERY 5 years for the rest of our career?????

From what I understood its 175 HOURS of continuing education every 5 years because that is how often you need to re-apply for your certification... I dont think its 175 credits...
Im sorry to confuse you
I took 30 extra in service CREDITS to count as my plus 30 (above my masters) not torwards my certification...
