Generally, licenses are good for a 5 year period, but renewing teachers must have proof of their completion of 125 hours of Continuing Education credits and in the required areas of training.
Certification of Continuing Education credits
Continuing Education credits are certified by a local committee of teachers (Continuing Education Committee) and tracked through Frontline Professional Growth. In District staff development credits are automatically credited to teachers' Frontline account by the Staff Development Team if the teacher registers for the PD event in advance. Out-of-district workshops, college courses, etc. will need to be submitted to and approved by the Continuing Education Committee once uploaded to Frontline. Some paperwork must be completed and uploaded for approval.
REMEMBER: THE DISTRICT IS NOT OBLIGATED TO REMIND YOU TO RENEW YOUR LICENSE!
