Please note on the application important changes as of October 2023 to the in-person PEP conferences:
- In-person PEP conferences will now be on a Friday and Saturday, rather than on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
- Lodging will be paid for by the Colorado Department of Education if a participant's commute is more than 50 miles to the hotel traveling one way (rather than 35 miles).
- Certificates will be issued for 15 hours for completing an in-person PEP conference in its entirety (rather than for 18 hours).
