Licensure Renewal<br />
The NC State Board of Education approved new standards for license<br />
renewal on November 3, 2011. Teachers with licenses that expired on<br />
June 30, 2012 should receive their new license by the end of August.<br />
Teachers with expiring licenses this year (June 30, 2013) will receive a<br />
print-out of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and an<br />
accompanying letter in the next few weeks.<br />
In the meantime, you can review your CEU history from a computer<br />
within our school network. It’s simple. Just click here. You will receive<br />
a Certificate Error because it is a Secure Website. Click on “Continue<br />
to this website (not recommend) to proceed. You will need to submit<br />
your social security number in order to lookup your CEU’s. Teachers<br />
in grades K-12 need to address these areas:<br />
Literacy Academic School Total<br />
Executives<br />
Teachers (K-12) 1 1 n/a 7.5<br />
Administrators n/a n/a 3 7.5<br />
Other Items to Remember:<br />
Teaching experience is no longer included in this process.<br />
Initial National Board Certification will grant 7.5 CEU’s for<br />
individuals that complete the process.<br />
Renewal of National Board Certification earns 2 CEU’s (one<br />
for literacy and one for the academic area).<br />
Beginning Teachers fall into a separate category than<br />
veteran teachers. BT’s need to participate in Professional<br />
Development activities, but they are not required to obtain a<br />
certain number of CEUs.<br />
Contact Dottie Wardsworth or Tracy Myrick if you have any<br />
questions.<br />
