Classroom Connections - Who are we?
Classroom Connections (CC) is an approved partner of the University of Sioux Falls, offering online graduate level courses that are designed for educators who already have their teaching license.
An Initial Teaching License is good for two years.
To obtain a Standard License, you must teach two full years in a public school or three years in a private school. Renewal credits are not required, but your administrator must verify your successful teaching experience.
A Standard License must be renewed every five years.
You must obtain six renewal credits to renew a Standard License.
Renewal credit can only be used for renewing your Iowa teaching license. Graduate credit can be used to renew your teaching license, it may move you on the salary schedule, and it can cross state lines to use for a license in another state.
You would need a Masters Degree with at least 5 years of teaching experience.
