How soon can the PDP be used for license renewal?
For Initial Educators, the first license will be issued for the period of 2005 to 2010. The earliest review of a PDP will be on or after 7/1/2008 (since Initial Educators have the option of renewing after 3 years). Consequently, the Department has determined that the 7/1/08 date will be first date available for Professional Educators to renew using the PDP. Thus, a Professional Educators license that expires in 2005, 2006, or 2007 must be renewed using the semester credit/equivalency clock hour option.
