Licensure Information
Is your Illinois Professional Educator License due for renewal in 2020?
The answer to this question is at your fingertips. Please go to your Educator Licensure Information System (ELIS) account to review your records (https://sec3.isbe.net/IWASNET/login.aspx). If your records show a license expiration date of "06/30/2020," then this current school year is your renewal year.
Please check your professional development records. "PD Recorded/PD Required," in your "Credential Center," indicates the amount of professional development you have completed, versus the amount of professional development you are required to complete for renewal. Click on that link to check your professional development details. Make sure you have entered your required amount of "Continuing Professional Development Hours," and be sure you have completed your required number of Illinois Administrator Academy courses.
If you need additional IAA courses, don’t delay. Register for the courses you need. We've listed our current schedule on this page and you can always visit www.iaachicago.com for more information!
