Educator Certification in Texas
Texas educators holding a standard certificate must renew their certificates every five years. To renew a standard certificate, classroom teachers must have completed 150 hours of continuing professional education (CPE), and administrative and/or student services certificate holders must complete 200 hours. It can be challenging to meet those requirements, which is why ATPE membership includes access to the ATPE Professional Learning (PL) Portal.
