After a five year certificate is earned, then what?
Deficiencies for 5 year certification standards are printed on the bottom of your teaching certificate. In addition to eliminating at least one of the deficiencies, you must attend two summer conferences during the certification period you can substitute a course or approved workshop for one of the two summer conferences – plus attend an approved workshop, conference, or course. Renewal requirements for 2 year and 5 year certificates are on our website. In the past MU has offered two of the required professional education courses, Lindenwood has offered one or two, and CMSU has offered two. I anticipate that those institutions will continue to offer the courses. If the resource becomes available to develop them as on-line courses I think they will provide them in that format. SEMO and SMS occasionally offer a coordination course which meets the requirement.
