  • Employed in NH school but not included under the employer Professional Development Master Plan

  • Employed in a Non-public or Charter School without a Professional Development Master Plan

Please contact your employer to find out if your school has a Professional Development Master Plan and will be recommending you for renewal or if you should continue with this Paraeducator DOE Renewal. If you will be recommended for renewal under a local Professional Development Master Plan, complete a Recommended Renewal and do not apply for a Paraeducator DOE Renewal.

A new course, NHED Educator License Renewal , is now available on the NHED Canvas portal.  The course is open, self-paced, and designed to assist educators with submitting professional development to renew a license.  Both Recommended Renewals and DOE Renewals are covered, along with submission guidelines.  No login is required.
