The information below is provided by Maine Education Association: Renewing Your Teacher Certification
Maine requires teachers to complete 6 semester hours of professional development, which is usually equivalent to 2 approved college courses, or 90 contact hours, where 1 CEU corresponds to 10 contact hours, over the course of 5 years.
For Tracking Hours:
Create a digital folder or physical binder to organize professional development certificates.
If you complete a college course, save copies of transcripts.
If you complete a book study or other self study, where a certificate is not issued, communicate with your district about requirement. You may have to write a reflection or submit other documentation.
At the end of each year, tally your hours and determine what you will complete the following year.
