Online Professional Development for Maine Teachers

Earn online PD hours to meet Maine teacher certification renewal requirements.

Professional Development Requirements for Maine Teachers

Maine educators can renew their certificate if it has been expired for less than six months. If it’s been longer, a new credential application must be submitted through the Maine Department of Education.

A new Criminal History Record Check (CHRC) is required for every renewal. Teachers in public schools will work with a Support Chair, who recommends them for renewal and may require additional documentation.

Be prepared to upload official transcripts or teacher contact hour certificates as PDFs when applying.
