Meeting State Requirements for New York City Teachers

What’s Your Goal?

Renew My New York Teaching Certificate

Although we no longer offer NYC ASPDP courses, we have worked with hundreds of New York City teachers and thousands of teachers from the state of New York. New York educators often consider our Flex Credit courses that are offered at a lower price point and provide the hours required for certificate renewal. Upon successful compltion of a Flex Credit course, a letter of completion is available from Teaching Channel. The beauty of Flex Credit is if you decide to “upgrade” to a graduate-credit course, you can do so within six months of Flex Credit completion.

For teachers seeking both salary advancement and certificate renewal, graduate-level continuing education courses are a great choice. When earning these credits, they remain on an official university transcript and can often be used toward salary schedule advancement in future districts you teach in throughout your career. These courses help teachers grow professionally and secure the credits needed to apply toward advanced degrees or career growth.

Teaching Channel with Learners Edge is an approved sponsor for the New York State Education Department Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE).

Why You Should Enroll in Courses as a Long-Term Investment

In many districts, teachers gain a salary increase when they accrue graduate-level credits. But have you considered the money you leave on the table when you delay accruing those credits?

Teachers who gain an extra $8K in salary 20 years before retirement bring home an extra $160K in earnings. And those teachers may also receive a higher pension by finishing their careers at an advance salary level. Compare that to the educator who achieves that goal 10 years later: $80K less income. See what credit accrual could mean for you by using our salary calculator. Be sure to check our course bundles that let you accrue credits at less cost and on a pay-as-you-learn plan.

Bundle Your Savings

Pay a lot less with our course bundles, plus go even easier on your budget with a monthly payment plan.

What’s Your Goal?

Renew My Utah Teaching License

Renew Your License

New renewal requirements for the Professional Educator License allow you to choose to use the Professional Educator License (PEL) Renewal Form (PDF File) to renew your license with only 100 required hours. However, you may select to renew or upgrade your license using the process that was in place when your license was awarded.

Credit Conversion

1 Teaching Channel with Learners Edge graduate level, continuing education credit = 18 license renewal points

Each Teaching Channel with Learners Edge 3-credit course requires approximately 45 hours for course completion.

Suicide Prevention Training

Active educators must complete at least 2 hours (points) of professional development on youth suicide prevention (state law 53A-1-603). Register for PD144: Awareness and Action for Suicide Prevention.

Select 1, 2, or 3-credit courses to meet your renewal requirements and work toward salary advancement. Choose professional development or Flex Credit courses for renewal only.

Renew Your Certificate

The Standard Certificate is renewable every five years. Educators must complete 150 CPE Hours for renewal. If you hold an administrative and/or student services certificate you must complete 200 CPE hours. No more than 200 CPE hours are required, even if you hold multiple certificates, such as: classroom, administrative and student services certificates.

Credit Conversion

1 Teaching Channel with Learners Edge graduate level, continuing education credit = 15 CPE hours

1 hour of professional development = 1 CPE hour

Each Teaching Channel with Learners Edge 3-credit course requires approximately 45 hours for course completion.

Standard Certificate Renewal

You can meet your renewal requirements through our Professional Development offerings, graduate level, continuing education courses, or Flex Credit courses.

Are you looking for CPE hours? Teaching Channel with Learners Edge recommends:

The Lone Star Bundle: CPE Hours for Texas Teaching Recertification (37.5 CPE hours)
PD 144: Awareness and Action for Suicide Prevention (2.5 CPE hours)
Three Flex Credit courses of your choice! (45 hours each)

Want to gain credits toward a master’s or doctoral degree to advance your career while you meet renewal requirements? Consider our Texas Two-Step Package which begins with our American College of Education (ACE) 3-Course Bundle.

This package is priced at $1188 allowing you to complete credits to be used toward a master’s or doctoral degree with our partner, ACE.

To make this Two-Step even better, purchasing the 3-Course Bundle unlocks two free courses so you can meet your topical requirements – PD101-21 – The Lone Star Bundle: CPE Hours for Texas Teaching Recertification AND PD144: Awareness and Action for Suicide Prevention.

If you only need to meet a few select renewal requirements, choose from our Flex Credit, credit-based, or professional development courses.
