TEACHING CERTIFICATION
RENEWAL CHECKLIST
TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL
EDUCATION
1.
Between April 15 and May 31 of your first year
of teaching apply for your first renewal of your teaching certificate.
Remember that your certificate expires on June 30th and that your application
for renewal must be processed by that time. Your
first renewal will require that you provide copies of your occupational
competency test results and any college hours added to your transcripts
related to your Plan of Study. These documents and a $10 check for
renewal fees should be stapled to the certificate renewal form and mailed to
the Technology Education/Trade and Industrial Education office.
2.
During your second year of teaching you MUST
complete a minimum 6 credit hours toward the specifications of your degree plan,
work on
your basic T&I hours,
and/or 7-9 general education hours. Do NOT depend upon
hours completed during
a previous teaching year; hours DO NOT carryover from
one year to another.
3. Between
April 15 and May 31 of your second year of teaching, apply for your second renewal.
Again, documents needed are a renewal application form, official transcripts,
and a $10 check -- all mailed to Dennis Ruttman’s office.
4. For third and fourth renewals, continue the
same process as indicated above. Remember, you must take a minimum of 6 hours per school
year from your degree plan. To be able to move from a Provisional Level I to
Level II , all requirements specified on your plan of study must be completed in time for your fifth certificate.
5. The certificate you apply for at the end of
your fifth year will be your Provisional II certificate. The requirements
include the occupational competency (24 hours), the T&I Basic courses, and the General Education
or Professional Education hours necessary to total 48 hours of acceptable coursework.
When applying for a Provisional II, complete:
o
the teaching certificate application
o compile all transcripts indicating completion of at least 48 hours as
specified by your
plan of study
o attach a $10 check made out to the Oklahoma State Department of
Education
o
secure a new plan of
study from your university representative
o and mail all to your university representative (each change in certificate level
requires a university representative’s
check of transcripts).
Again, it is a good idea to complete the paperwork between April 15 and
May 31 to beat any June 30th deadline difficulties. Of course it is permissible to file for Provisional II before the end
of your fifth year of teaching, if you complete the requirements in advance.
6.
File for Provisional II certificate renewal every
five years. Ensure that you have
completed a minimum of 15 hours toward your
degree requirements as established
on your updated Plan of Study.
7. Continue to
file for Provisional II certificate renewals until you graduate and are
ready for your Standard certification. At that time, compile all documents and mail
them to your
university representative for final transcript checks and approval.
