You can also track your CPE hours and certificates through the portal, making it easy to log both ATPE- and non-ATPE-provided CPE experiences. All your records will be in one place when it’s time to renew your certificate.

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.
