How to Renew or Upgrade Credentials
Renewal: Educators are required to complete 15 hours professional development each year or the equivalent of in-service training. This can be completed with 6 semester credits over 6 years or through National Board Certification programs. Educators should use the OPAL online system to require current requirements.
Upgrade: Educators may be eligible for salary increases for coursework and graduate degrees earned within their licensure field. Educators should contact their specific school districts for details about salary schedules and requirements.
