Minnesota Teaching License Renewal
The teacher licensure structure changed to tiered licensure on July 1, 2018. Per the MN Professional Educator Licensing & Standards Board, PELSB, MN has created a 4 tier-system for 5-year standard licenses. Teachers on Tiers 3 and 4 need to meet the state requirements for license renewal.
The renewal of five-year Minnesota teaching/related services licenses requires the completion of 75 clock hours of professional development for Tier 3 renewal and 125 clock hours for Tier 4 renewal which must be locally approved through each school’s continuing education committee. Learners Edge offers both a professional development bundle and continuing education courses to help meet these requirements.
The Professional Development License Renewal bundle covers each of the Minnesota mandatory teaching license renewal requirements. This is an ideal option for those interested in meeting their renewal areas through a convenient online course format while earning 25 clock hours upon completion.
