Advanced Degree
A professional development option for meeting renewal requirements
for those who hold Standard or Master teaching certificates
is to complete an advanced, education-related degree (master's
degree, a doctoral degree, a certificate of advanced study,
or an educational specialist).
An "education-related field" is defined as one
related to the requirements for the early childhood, elementary,
secondary, special or special preschool-age 21 certificate,
the school service personnel certificate, the administrative
certificate, or any endorsement available on any of these
certificates pursuant to applicable rules of the State Board
of Education or its policies related to certification in special
education resulting from the federal lawsuit known as Corey
H.
At least eight semester hours of graduate-level credit must
be applicable towards earning a degree, certificate or endorsement
in a teaching field.
The degree must be earned within the validity period of your
certificate.
Evidence of Completion for Completing an Advanced Degree
Teachers must produce an official transcript and be able
to indicate how the "eight-semester hour" requirement
was met.
