To renew or align a five-year professional or associate license in the state of Ohio, you must earn the equivalent of six semester hours of coursework related to classroom teaching or the area of licensure. Six semester hours equal 18 continuing education units (CEUs), 180 contact hours, or a combination thereof. The coursework (or professional development) must be completed after the ISSUE DATE of your expiring credential(s) and after the APPROVAL DATE of your Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP). Typically, one CEU equals 10 contact hours, 3 CEUs equal one semester hour, and 30 contact hours equal one semester hour. 

All staff are reminded that a current FBI background check is required for teaching license renewal. If you need to complete a background check, please contact Ruby at the Tallmadge Police Department (330-633-2836) or the Summit ESC (330-945-5600) to schedule an appointment. Please note that a BCI background check is only required if you have lived in Ohio for less than five years.
