WHAT YOU CAN DO TO BE READY FOR RELICENSURE BEFORE RENEWALS ARE RELEASED
Register online through ALiS.
Use MICROSOFT EDGE!! It’s the most reliable browser with ALiS. (Google Chrome is also a possibility but you’ll have to clear browsing history and allow pop-ups each time. )
Complete current Employment Details section and check box for Continuing employment under employment. Do not put in an end date!
Check your endorsement rules on line- many have been updated (or will be updated) an1/3 of PL activities must connect to endorsement
Scan your CEU certifications and/or course transcripts into your computer to have ready
Enter your Professional Learning (PL) Activities into the ALiS system; upload (see explanation already outlined) your proof of completion- DO NOT SUBMIT until you have all entered! Save, but don’t submit to board. Once you click “submit”, you must wait for the Board to approve before adding more.
Make sure you have the ability to pay with a credit card online.
Before entering your PL activity, make sure the bottom of the page indicates that you’re linked to this LSB. If it says AOE, stop, go to rep for help. DO NOT SUBMIT ANYTHING TO AOE at this point!
