Renew a Department of Defense Education Activity Teaching Certificate
(not a DODEA teacher, click here to find your state)
How do I renew a Department of Defense Education Activity teaching certificate?
All Professional Learning Board courses include a free PD Tracker.
All DoDEA educators must renew their teaching certificate every 6 years. Here is an online renewal application. Educators must apply for recertification at least 12 months prior to the expiration date of their current certificate to avoid receiving a “Projected Notice of Deficiency (PNOD).”
What Department of Defense requirements does a DoDEA teacher need to meet for renewal?
Teachers must present official transcripts reflecting a minimum of six semester hours through a regionally accredited university. Courses are to be taken in areas related to the current teaching position or administrator assignment or divided among subject areas the educator is teaching if teaching more than one subject. Three of the six semester hours may be earned in subject areas that will qualify the educator for another position category within DoDEA.
