Professional Development Requirements for West Virginia Teachers
If you’re a certified educator in West Virginia, keeping your teaching certificate up to date is an important part of maintaining your credentials.
In West Virginia, professional teaching certificates are valid for three (3) or five (5) years, depending on your qualifications. Educators use the Professional Teaching Certificate Form (Form 4T) to renew, upgrade, or convert their certificate to a permanent credential.
Renewal applications can only be submitted after January 1 of the year your certificate expires. Educators with a five-year certificate, master’s degree, five years of experience, and completed Beginning Educator Internship/Induction (or exemption) may qualify for permanent certification.
To renew or convert your certificate, one of the following must apply:
- Complete 3 hours of eligible coursework or WV Learns courses (for a 1-year certificate)
- Complete 6 hours of coursework or WV Learns courses
- Hold a Master’s +30 advanced salary classification
- Be 60 years of age or older
