Maintenance of Certification consists of a portfolio submission of two components that are evaluated together and scored holistically. The two components draw upon two Professional Growth Experiences (PGEs) related to your original certificate area. PGEs are professional activities that you have undertaken that have evolved to become an important focus of your professional growth that have influence within or beyond the classroom and have had a direct or indirect impact on student learning.
