Certified teachers are eligible for renewal and Professional Certification
after completion of classes in an 18-hour planned program of study with
one teacher preparation institution, along with completion of three
years of successful teaching, following the date the provisional teaching
certificate was issued. Students holding or working on an appropriate
master’s degree may apply the first 18 hours of their degree program
toward this. Non-degree students who wish to be recommended by Marygrove
for renewal and then Professional Certification may enroll in the 18-hour
Reading & Literacy Education Program or develop an 18-credit-hour planned
program with the Teacher Certification Officer.
This individually designed program may reflect classes taken to add
a teaching endorsement or distance-learning graduate classes designed
to enhance your teaching skills.
