PELSB Educator Renewal is the process managed by Minnesota’s Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board for teachers and educational professionals to maintain and renew their state teaching licenses.

PELSB educator Renewal

2. Review the PELSB Renewal Requirements Chart and Categories for Clock Hour Allocation

3. Learn about Professional Learning Renewal Opportunities
4. Connect with your local teacher association who can assist with professional learning opportunities, including the Metro West UniServ (offered each fall) and the MEA Convention.

Required documents to submit to Human Resources:

• Only one Clock Hour Approval Form upon completion of your 125 CEU’s submitted during your relicensure year.
• Original verification forms and PD transcripts for all experiences.

What happens after you submit materials to Human Resources:

2. If approved, you must renew your license online.
   • You CANNOT renew your license with PELSB (on the state’s website) until January 1^st

Internal staff please email Manny at banda.manuel@slpschools.org once your license has been renewed/approved through the state.

If you are not a teacher at SLP but are a resident of the city:
