How to Renew or Upgrade Credentials
Renewal: Educators are required to complete 8 CEUs or 80 clock hours of professional development to renew a license. Credits required are specific to grade levels and subjects taught. Requirements may be met through college coursework, local in-service courses, and LEA-offered classes and workshops.
Upgrade: Educators may upgrade their license through advanced degrees or National Board certification. Advanced coursework must be in the same field as the license and should be verified before enrollment. Educators may be eligible for salary increases for graduate degrees earned within their licensure field. Educators should contact their specific school districts for details about salary schedules and requirements.
