Teacher License Renewal: Nearly all states (New York and Illinois have alternative requirements) accept TPAI courses for teacher recertification or license renewal graduate coursework. Visit your state department website to learn more about your specific state requirements before registering. If you have further questions about state requirements for teacher re-certification or license renewal, email us at: info@teacherspai.com.
Accreditation:
Accreditation: CSU-Pueblo is “regionally accredited” by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) recognize six organizations for such purposes. Districts in all states allow for “regionally accredited” universities for salary advancement purposes. However, since each district sets its own policies, it is your responsibility to check your district requirements before registering for any course.
