Maine State Requirements

Below is a summary of how Learners Edge may help your continuing education and Maine teaching certification renewal needs. This summary should in no way release individuals from their responsibility of ensuring that the course they take meets their professional needs. We hope it provides assistance in understanding how Learners Edge might help you in the accumulation of clock hours or graduate credit for salary advancement and the Maine teaching relicensure process.

See the Maine Department of Education website for complete ME teacher relicensure information.
