Continuing Teacher and Leader Education

Professionally certified teachers are required to complete 100 Continuing Teacher & Leader Education (CTLE) hours every five years. Professional development courses are provided so that faculty and staff remain current with their profession, meet the learning needs of their students, and are able to maintain their certificates in good standing. 


The courses offered for CTLE hours are designed to improve the teacher or leader’s pedagogical and/or leadership skills, improve student performance, and align with district goals for student performance. CTLE requirements do not apply to holders of Continuing Teaching Assistant certificates and Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) certificates, such as School Counselors, School Psychologists, School Social Workers, and School Nurse Teachers.  


Professionally certified English as Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) teachers and holders of the bilingual extension are required to complete a minimum of 50% of their CTLE hours in areas that specifically address the needs of English Language Learners (ELLs). All other certificate holders are required to complete a minimum of 15% of their hours in areas that address the needs of ELLs. 

 


Record-keeping and Reporting CTLE Hours

Neither CTLE sponsors nor CTLE certificate holders are required to submit hours to SED unless they are specifically asked by the State Education Department (SED) to provide them. At the end of each five (5) year registration cycle, CTLE certificate holders will attest to completing 100 CTLE hours on their TEACH accounts. SED may randomly audit both CTLE sponsors and CTLE certificate holders to ensure compliance with regulations.
