Reminder of Administrative Certificate Renewal Requirements

In order to recertify, administrative certificate holders must complete a three credit course in the Idaho Framework for Teachers’ evaluation pursuant to Section 33-1204, Idaho Code each recertification cycle. Credits must be earned through an approved teacher preparation program and include a laboratory component. This requirement applies to all administrative certificate holders, regardless of whether you are currently serving in an administrative capacity or not.

Administrative certificate holders can meet this requirement through any course that has been approved by the State Board of Education. A full listing of approved courses can be found on the State Board of Education website under Approved Courses. As a reminder, the course being offered by the Boise School District through Education Impact is a State Board approved course. For more information on the Boise School District course, please see the Educational Impact Course Overview.
