If you are a newly certificated teacher in Arizona, you have already cleared your first professional hurdle. After your initial certification period, make sure you keep up with the expiration date for your certificate.
This is your responsibility and not the school district in which you were hired.
You are responsible for renewing your own license and fingerprint clearance card!
For questions about certification and fingerprint clearance concerns visit the Arizona Department of Education website.
