You must earn a minimum of 10 hours (10 edWebinars) in 5 years for them to count towards primary renewal.
You can use edWeb to satisfy your MA renewal requirements for the required 15 hours in content (subject matter knowledge), pedagogy (professional skills and knowledge), Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) or English as a Second Language (ESL), and towards the additional 90 hours in “other educational issues and topics that improve student learning, or additional content, and/or pedagogy.” edWeb.net may be used to complete a portion of the required PDP hours required by the state. The DESE recommends teachers participate in multiple types of professional learning activities in order to meet their renewal requirements.
Educators are not required to submit verification of their earned PDPs for the renewal of one or more professional licenses, unless their license renewal application is selected for a random audit by the DESE. If selected, the licensee is required to submit all documentation to verify the PDPs he/she has earned to meet the license renewal requirements. Educators are required to maintain documentation of their PDPs within 5 years, after renewing their professional license(s).
