Current procedures require educators who hold a Professional Certificate to earn 120 inservice points (or 6 college credit equivalent), including 20 points in the teaching of students with disabilities, during every five-year validity period in order to renew their certificates. Certain subject areas responsible for reading instruction must earn 40 points (2 credit equivalent) as part of their 120 points. This amendment clarifies the topics required in reading instruction and limits certain topics from being used multiple times during the renewal cycle.
