Can I renew my license if I have not fulfilled the required professional development hours?

The Illinois State Board of Education will not allow you to renew your license until you have met the professional development (PD) requirement.


First you should update your Professional Development / Employment Status. Updating this status directly impacts the number of professional development hours required. 


Next, see how many PD hours you have remaining by selecting the "professional development" tab on your ELIS account. If you still owe professional development hours, enroll in PD through an approved PD provider (such as Kane ROE) then enter the PD activity into your ELIS account.


After you have met the required number of PD hours, you may renew your license
