Continuing Education/Clock Hour Information

On April 5, 2021, the Washington State Senate passed House Bill 1426, which states,

• "To renew an administrator certificate on or after July 1, 2023, continuing education must meet the following requirements: 10 percent must focus on equity-based school practices, 10 percent must focus on the national professional standards for education leaders, and five percent must focus on government-to-government relationships with federally recognized tribes."
• "To renew a teacher certificate on or after July 1, 2023, 15 percent of continuing education must focus on equity-based school practices. This subsection does not apply to a person renewing both a teacher certificate and an administrator certificate."

Whitworth University is a Washington state approved clock hour provider. We are currently creating clock hour opportunities for administrators and certified teachers to complete in order to satisfy the certificate renewal requirements of HB 1426. Please check back soon.
