Resources for License Renewal - NOT Endorsed or Sponsored by ISD 279 or Scott Taylor
The above links to online classes are options for license renewal. The courses/links on this site are not endorsed nor supported by ISD 279, Park Brook Elementary or Scott Taylor, nor have these sources been reviewed by the aforementioned individuals and organizations. This is simply provided as a resource and other online sources can be added to this webpage; I am not researching for additional sites, simply passing on information on sites that have been given to me. I have not taken any classes from these sites so I cannot speak to the value of the classes. This is not a recommendation, but rather a source available to those renewing licenses.
If you have a site that you feel would be valuable for others renewing their license, please feel welcome to forward me the link and I am more than willing to share.
Administration License Renewal
Renewing a Five-Year License
125 Pre-Approved CEU's by the Minnesota Board of School Administrators are needed to renew an administration license.
Credits must be on a certificate from the Minnesota Board of School Administrators.
The 125 pre-approved CEU's are NOT the same as the CEU's to renew a teaching license.
The 125 pre-approved CEU's must be dated after your last license renewal date.
Please send me the paper copies at Park Brook Elementary or scan the paper copies and send to taylors@district279.org.
After approved, use the link to pay the license renewal fee.
