The Iowa Board of Educational Examiners has updated requirements for renewing licenses. Here’s what you need to know:
- Verification needed: A Master’s degree (or higher), at least 10 years of PK–12 licensed experience and current Mandatory Reporter training for child abuse.
- Substitute Experience: May count toward years of experience if you can verify at least 91 days of substitute work per year.
Application Process:
- Renewal is completed online only.
- You’ll need to upload verification of your degree, years of experience and mandatory reporter trainings.
- Administrators must also provide evaluator training (completed within the past 10 years). This requirement has been in effect since July 1, 2023.
- No Mail Applications: All renewals must go through the online system.
