Online Professional Development for Iowa Teachers

Earn renewal credits online to meet Iowa educator licensure requirements.

Professional Development Requirements for Iowa Teachers

Iowa educator renewal requirements vary by license type. For the Standard Teaching License, educators may renew through one of two pathways: 

Option 1: Traditional Renewal 

  • 6 renewal credits from an approved provider 
  • Mandatory Reporter Training for Child Abuse (required for all educators) 

Option 2: Advanced Degree Pathway 

  • Verification of a Master’s degree or higher 
  • 10 years of PK–12 licensed experience 
  • Mandatory Reporter Training for Child Abuse 

Different Iowa licenses have different renewal rules. The state provides a helpful resource for reviewing every license category and requirement. 

Iowa accepts renewal credits from IACET-approved providers for traditional renewal, including The Teachers Academy, which makes earning credits through online professional development simple and accessible.
