HOW OUR COURSES WORK

Alabama Teacher License Renewal & Certification Renewal Requirements

Alabama teachers utilize Model Teaching courses every year to earn academic credits for license renewal. All Model Teaching university-partnered courses provide graduate-level semester credit for license renewal or salary advancement purposes. You may choose any Model Teaching university-partnered courses of interest or enroll in one of our Course Bundle Packs – the most cost-effective way to earn credits.

  • Regionally-Accredited Semester Credits

Model Teaching offers great options for Alabama teachers to earn semester credits from accredited universities in order to renew or maintain their teaching certification.

The Alabama State Department of Education encourages certified Alabama teachers to expand their knowledge and instructional skills through continuing education and professional development. Alabama requires teachers to continue their teacher training throughout their careers.

The renewal process includes completing an application and choosing among different options, such as earning academic credits and professional development.

We encourage teachers and administrators to visit the Alabama State Department of Education Educator Certification page to review the specific requirements for license renewal.

 

Please visit: https://www.alsde.edu/sec/ec/Pages/home.aspx

And under “Certificate Renewal” on the bottom yellow bar on the screen select:

  • Professional Educator (for teachers)
  • Professional Leadership (for administrators)

Model Teaching provides continuing education courses through regionally accredited university partners.  These credits may be used where applicable to satisfy some of the requirements for license renewal.

Please contact the Alabama State Department of Education for further information.

While we always recommend you confirm your state or district’s license renewal requirements, we recommend choosing any of our regionally-accredited university partnered courses or course bundle packs.  These courses are in partnership with regionally-accredited universities and include an official transcript.

The most cost-effective option for teachers who need the maximum number of credits is any of our University-Partnered Bundle Packs. (See Below)
