You must complete a Recommended Renewal if you are employed under a NHED-Approved Professional Development Master Plan. Follow your employer’s instructions to submit your professional development to your employer.

Please note:

Types of credentials that can be renewed

Beginning Educator, Experienced Educator, School Nurse, Paraeducator and Educational Interpreter/Transliterator
Intern Authorizations cannot be renewed through a recommended renewal. For more information regarding Intern Authorizations, please review Site-Based Licensing Plan information.

Paraeducators and those employed outside of licensure area

Not all employers with Professional Development Master Plans include licensed paraeducators under the plan, or include licensed educators working as paraeducators or other non-credentialed roles under the plan. Please be sure to check with your employer to find out if you will be recommended for renewal, or if you should submit a DOE Renewal (our office is unable to determine this for you).

Expired Licenses

All expired licenses must be renewed through the DOE Renewal process.
