How to Renew or Upgrade Credentials
Renewal: Educators are required to renew certification every 5 years through 75 hours of professional learning in their field. This may be accomplished through school district offerings or college coursework and should be approved by the supervisor in advance.
Upgrade: Educators may apply for a certificate upgrade through the online system after completing a graduate degree program and obtaining official transcripts. 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.
