How to Renew or Upgrade Credentials
Renewal: Educators can renew a Standard or Advanced License through years of teaching experience and successful performance evaluations. Documentation requirements are defined on the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board website.
Upgrade: Educators with at least 5 years of teaching experience within the last 8 years with successful performance evaluations are eligible to upgrade to an Advanced License if they meet all requirements defined on the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board website.
