Regulation 093-18 Established standards for professional development.
Updated the renewal requirement for educator licenses in NAC 391.065 to require 15 hours each calendar year of professional development or the equivalent of in-service training.
Repealed the requirements of NAC 391.075 removing the restrictions imposed on professional development activities and allowing flexibility in obtaining professional development for licensure renewal.
The new requirements became effective on July 1, 2019. Pursuant to NAC 391.065, which is detailed in R110-18, was amended after the Commission on Professional Standards in Education adopted new renewal requirements and was subsequently approved by the Legislative Commission on June 26, 2019. Original transcripts showing passage of required coursework must be submitted to our office at our mailing address or via e-Script to: note that renewal credits or hours are NOT required for persons holding a “Non-Renewable/Provisional” license at the time that they are converting this license type to a Standard or Professional License. Test scores showing satisfaction of all provisions must be submitted through OPAL along with a completed renewal application. Non-Renewable/Provisional Educator LicensesĪ Non-Renewable/provisional Educator License may be upgraded to a Standard or Professional License once all provisions on the license have been satisfied.
Renewing Licensure Applicants Checklist.
If you are renewing your license, you will need to first register for your online profile through OPAL and follow the checklist below: You may renew your standard or professional license up to 9 months before the expiration date of your current license through the OPAL licensure system. In some cases, full-time contracted teaching experience may waive student teaching requirements, please see NAC 391.042 for more information. You must meet all requirements for academic preparation, student teaching, and competency testing for the specific area of licensure for which you are applying.
For more information about criminal background checks and fingerprinting, please visit the Background Process page link.
Failure to background check for the NDE will result in denial of licensure and then you will need to reapply and repay the fees. Please note that your employer and the NDE do not share your information and you will (in most cases) be required to do two separate background checks. In all cases, you will also have to background for your employer.
