Recertification for Teachers

Points for educators working towards licensure renewal (recertification) may be awarded for completion of 5 or more webcasts. VDOE provides the following requirements regarding professional development activities:

Point value: one point per clock/contact hour; must be a minimum of five hours per activity.

Any teacher who wants to use these items as a professional development activity for recertification needs prior approval of the school district. The school district will be responsible for designating the actual number of points that a teacher can earn for participating in the webcast.
