Certificate Renewal for Mississippi Teachers

Standard Administrator

Professional Development

The Mississippi Department of Education no longer approves programs for CEU credit. School districts, organizations, or individuals wishing to prepare and offer a program for CEU credit must submit an application to an accredited CEU granting agency. Any Continuing Education Office at a college, university, or community/junior college is an accredited CEU granting agency. Once programs are approved, they may be offered and certificates will be issued to successful participants by the approving agency. Ten contact hours of professional development is equal to one CEU credit.

The Division of Educator Licensure accepts degrees or coursework from any nationally or regionally accredited institution.

TCL offers online and site-based graduate credit for courses through regionally accredited university partners or non-credit PD courses
