Texas teaching certificate renewal in person

Share

Texas now requires applicants to renew their teaching certificates in person at a government office. The move is a significant step forward for the state and could have implications for teacher licensure nationwide. Still, critics say the measure doesn’t provide enough information to make it easy to understand or comply with.

Are you in the middle of the school year and need to renew your teaching certificate? Or perhaps you just finished the school year and want to renew your license. Either way, you must pay a fee and go to a Texas Department of Education office.

This is a very sad story from Austin, Texas. This teacher has been dealing with stress from the public school system, their situation, and the demands of her job for quite some time. She had finally just reached the breaking point. She was so fed up that she started a website called “I am Sick and Tired of Public School Teaching”. The teachers union (the AFT) and the public school board took notice of what she was saying, and as a result, they demanded that she be fired. They also refused to renew her teaching certificate. They said that her behavior was unacceptable.

Renewal for Texas teaching certificates

Are you in the middle of the school year and need to renew your teaching certificate? Or perhaps you just finished the school year and want to renew your license. Either way, you must pay a fee and go to a Texas Department of Education office.

While you can renew your teaching certificate online, only about half of teachers do it this way. Why is that?

A lot of teachers have to travel to a specific city to renew. In the case of Dallas, teachers must travel to Fort Worth to continue.

While this can be convenient, it also means that the teacher has to book a hotel room in Fort Worth. Since most teachers don’t have any money saved up for such expenses, they decide not to renew online.

Another factor is convenience. Most teachers work from home and don’t have time to visit the local Texas Department of Education office. They end up paying for the convenience of renewing online.
