Professional Development
The ESPB seeks the advice of teachers, administrators, school board members, teacher education professors, and other interested citizens in developing and updating codes of professional development. Professional development is accomplished, in part through licensure renewal. At the present time, a contracted teacher is required to complete 4 semester hours every five years.
The Governor's Office received a teacher Quality Enhancement Grant in 2002. This grant is administered by the ESPB and provides dollars for the North Dakota mentoring and portfolio programs.
