Kansas Certificate Renewal Requirements
To renew a Kansas professional license, the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) requires professional development completed during each five-year period, awarded as points by a local Professional Development Council under an approved Individual Development Plan (IDP):
- 120 professional development points for educators who hold a graduate degree, completed under an approved Individual Development Plan.
- 160 professional development points for educators who do not hold a graduate degree, including at least 80 points for college credit.
- Points are awarded by your local Professional Development Council (PDC) and must align with your Individual Development Plan. One semester hour of accredited university credit equals 20 professional development points.
- Renewal is submitted online through the Kansas Licensure Application System (KLAS) at the Kansas State Department of Education.
- Activities that may count include college coursework, workshops, conferences, mentoring, curriculum development, and action research aligned to school or district improvement goals.
Every iTeachAI Academy course provides three clock hours and a verifiable Certificate of Completion you can submit to your Professional Development Council for points toward this total. Confirm with your PDC and KSDE how external professional development is recorded.

How Kansas Districts Approve iTeachAI for Professional Development Points
Kansas awards professional development points through local Professional Development Councils under each educator's Individual Development Plan. iTeachAI Academy is not a formally state-approved provider in Kansas. Our courses are standards-aligned, district-acceptable professional development that educators and districts may apply toward renewal at their discretion. The district route is simple:
- A district designee or Professional Development Council member reviews one or more courses through a no-cost reviewer account.
- The council documents approved courses against the educator's Individual Development Plan.
- Teachers complete courses, receive a Certificate of Completion, and submit it for professional development points toward renewal.

For Kansas School District Leadership
If you direct curriculum, professional learning, or federal programs at a Kansas district, I would be glad to send a no-cost reviewer account so a designee or Professional Development Council member can audit any course end to end before approval.
