Colorado Teacher License Renewal

Initial teacher licenses in Colorado are valid for three (3) years. After that time, they may either be renewed, or converted to a Professional License.

During the three-year duration of your initial teacher license, you are expected to complete an approved induction program. This program, provided by Colorado schools and approved facilities/agencies, involves ongoing professional development and training, ethics training, supervision by mentor teachers, and performance evaluations. Induction programs must meet specified rules in order to be approved.

Once the induction program is completed, you must submit proof of completion via a copy of a completion certificate or the signature of the program’s Induction Coordinator. As long as you have passed the necessary PLACE and/or Praxis II exams, you are now eligible to apply online for a Professional License, which will be valid for five (5) years.

To renew your Professional License, you must provide proof of completing 6 semester hours of college credit or 90 clock hours of Professional Development and Continuing Education Courses during the past five (5) years. Professional Development Activities must be Colorado Department of Education approved. You may apply online for renewal of your Professional License within six (6) months of its expiration date.

NOTE: Make sure to confirm the specific requirements for renewing your license with your state departments or local license-granting authority prior to enrollment. For more information, please visit the Colorado Department of Education website.

Reinstatement/Recertification of Teaching License

If your Colorado professional teaching license has expired and you would like it to be reinstated, you must follow the same procedure for license renewal as described above, providing proof of your Professional Development or graduate level semester credit during the past five (5) years. No penalty, additional fees, or additional testing is required to reinstate an expired license.

What Others Are Saying About Our Courses

Amy S. -CO-

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I wanted you to know I enjoyed the books and coursework very much, and I plan to take further coursework through TLC in the years to come…”

Tandi F. -CO-

“Thank you I learned a few things I'm already trying to use in my classroom, even an old technology teacher can learn a few new tricks.“

John H. -CO-

”I am very impressed with the course material as well as the way the information is causing me to question my own teaching methods. This course will have an influence on my teaching and my students. So, thank you for suggesting it.”

Vicky W. -FL-

"Dear Joseph, thanks for this information. It was a pleasure to complete the work! I have used the research paper a few times in school meetings. Thanks again for offering these services to teachers, especially those of us living in hinterlands"

Whitney D. -CA-

"Thank you for a wonderful experience! I cannot wait to take what I have learned and apply it to my new first grade teaching job. I know I will be able to use both classes to continue improving myself as an educator."

Mary M. -WA-

"I have received all I need to know for now. Thank you so much for expediting these papers for me. I appreciate the quick response and will start work on the course at the end of our final school day today. I'm looking forward to learning more about this subject!"

Theresa. -PA-

"Hello, Dave. In my email to parents, I mentioned my very recent course with you [Designing an Online Classroom]. I had no idea how timely it would be. I do believe that my students and I haven't skipped a beat! Of course, it changes things a fair amount, but I am very glad to already have experience with tools that were fun in the class room but indispensable now!"

Jean W. -MN-

"The course I took was perfect for me as I am trying to write some Health curriculum with two other Health Teachers in the building. Teaching in Special Education and Regular Ed allows me to se subjects from both sides. Instead of doing the two page paper at the end, I choose to write a differentiated lesson plan for my Health class as that will be beneficial to me. Great course! I have recommended to a few others as well. Rubric for grading. My writing assignment corresponds with A/B Grade Area"

Kimberly W. -OH-

"I LOVED the Assertive Discipline text and have already begun to implement many of the aspects - behavior narration, 100% compliance - 100% of the time - in to my classroom."
