Hello Everyone, just your local licensure lady here. I wanted to do a brief and quick update on a few items for you and your license. Realize if you have not been to any of my presentations you are a mid-cycler if you up for relicensing in 2020. National Board Teachers are generally mid cycle because they have a 10 year license.
For All:
Beginning April 1, 2017 educators can carry over unused professional development hours completed between April 1st and June 30th of the final years of their renewal cycle to the next five-year renewal cycle. Educators should not record unused professional development in ELIS until July 1st of the next renewal cycle.
OPRF has provided us with MANY great opportunities for PD hours throughout our normal year and inservices.
For Every Professional Development Activity that you enter you WILL need an Evidence of Completion Form from an Illinois State Approved Provider.
When completing graduate level courses you will need to send transcripts to the State (my preference to directly to Sharon Balderas at West 40 instructions provided on licensure basics page). For EACH Graduate Hour you recieve 15 PD hours (3 credit course = 45 hours)

Good News the State signed two laws that reduce educator license renewal requirements for the 2021-2022 school year (fiscal year 2022). Each law is effective immediately.
• Public Act 102-0730 waives the Administrator Academy requirement for administrators.
• Public Act 102-0852 reduces the professional development hours required for renewal by 20% for any renewal cycle that includes the 21-22 school year (FY 22.)

In order to receive credit for PD you need to fill out a survey. If Audited they will be tracking not only the evidence of completion but if you filled out the survey. Each years folder will have a document listing the surveys to be completed.
Once you renew your PD will reset for the next cycle. You can ALWAYS go back and check your previous PD by switching the dates.
The biggest new thing on the site is entering PD. They now have a drop down menu for providers. The hope is that ONLY approved providers are in the list but who knows with the state sometimes.
