Return to the Profession

Welcome Home Proud Michigan Educator

My Michigan Teaching Certificate expired, but I have been teaching out-of-state.

Welcome Home!  If your certificate has expired and you hold a valid out-of-state teaching certificate, you meet the professional learning requirements for certification renewal. A one-time renewal is available to welcome you back to teaching in a Michigan school.

 

Apply today!

Special Renewal Opportunity!

If your certificate expired in June 2020 or earlier, you may qualify for a reduction or elimination of the professional learning hours required for recertification.
