Since the birth of this Web site, teachers have inquired about receiving professional development points for licensure renewal. Teachers who submit a lesson plan approved for posting on the "Commonwealth of Knowledge" Web site will receive 10 points toward renewal of their licenses, with a maximum of 30 points earned in one year. A panel of Virginia Teachers of the Year reviews and approves the lesson plans. Lesson plans will be posted after approval. The professional development points will be issued under renewal option 9--"Educational Project"--outlined in the Board of Education's licensure renewal requirements. This option allows the accumulation of 90 points every five years. Teachers submitting lesson plans should seek renewal approval from their school division licensure renewal advisors to ensure that the points can be applied to license renewal. Certificates of recognition will be issued to teachers whose plans are published on the Web page. Teachers interested in posting lesson plans on the Web page may submit their plans electronically on the "Commonwealth of Knowledge" Web site: www.knowledge.state.va.us. I encourage teachers and professors in teacher preparation institutions to submit lesson plans for review and publication on the First Lady's Web page. If you have questions or require additional information regarding procedures for submitting lesson plans for the panel's review and approval, please contact Dr. Patricia Wright, assistant superintendent for instruction, at (804) 225-2894 or Dr. Thomas A. Elliott, assistant superintendent, Division of Teacher Education and Licensure, at (804) 371-2522.
