To renew your five year license, you must complete an online application and show proof that you have completed either six semester hours of coursework, 18 CEU of professional development or 180 "clock hours" of equivalent activities, or any combination that were planned and approved by an LPDC committee.
Step 1: Compile and turn in portfolio:
Please organize and place the following in a mania folder or 3-ring binder and send to the Auglaize County ESC. This shows the continued education you have already completed in order to renew your license.
1. A copy of your current certificate or license.
2. Your IPDP plan from last license cycle. This should be the one approved by the committee.
3. All of your cover sheets and verification forms**
- The four cover sheets include one for your district goal, two for professional goals, and one for PBIS hours. You must:
- Organize your CEU activities under the corresponding cover sheet that matches the work you did toward that goal.
|
- You must use two of the four activity cover sheets.
|
- List the CEU verification from the oldest to the most recent.
|
- Verification forms include:
- Official or unofficial transcripts of any college work you completed under your license. Click HERE for the Conversion Chart.
|
- All "Certificate of Attendance" (CEU) documentation for your activities you completed under your license.
|
- All activity vouchers for activities that you do not have "certificate of attendance" documentation if needed.
- Click HERE for an interactive PDF of the Activiy Report
- Click HERE for the Word Document of the Activity Report
|
- Please only turn in 18 CEUs.
The LPDC Coordinator will review your "Portfolio". If you have the 18 CEUs of documentation, you will receive email notification with the steps to complete the online license renewal application.
Step 2: Fingerprints
FBI/BCI CHECK: The ESC can run the FBI/BCI check for you (call 419-738-3422 for appointment) between the hours of 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM. The cost of the BCI is $35 and FBI is $35. You will need to bring your driver's license or state ID (not your teaching license) with you. The ESC accepts cash, check, or credit cards. A small fee applies when using a credit card. Jenny Berning at the ESC can check to see if you need both FBI and BCI completed at this time. Please call if you have any questions (419) 738-3422. Click HERE to see ODE's requirements.
*Note: Your license will be denied by ODE if you do not have current fingerprints by file.
Step 3: Online Renewal Process
