Recording your PD hours for NESA

Modified on Wed, 3 Jul at 4:43 PM

Previously our school programs were NESA accredited for NSW educators, including our 2018-2022 Mindful Champion Training, Introduction to Mindfulness kick-offs, our Online Learning Modules, and our Working with the Curriculum and Special Topic online webinars. 


On November 30, 2020 NESA announced the completion of an internal review into accredited courses and course providers. As a direct result of this review, all previously accredited NESA providers (including Smiling Mind) have been de-registered, effective immediately. 


We have not began the process of re-accreditation.


In the meantime, educators are able to reference hours spent completing Smiling Mind courses as teacher PD hours or teacher-identified PD hours. To assist you in self-recording these hours, our modules address standards 4.4.2 and 6.2.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.


If you are having issues recording this PD, you will need to contact NESA for assistance.
