How does RA 10912 affect a teacher's license renewal?

• A. Renewal is automatic without CPD.
• B. CPD is optional for renewal.
• C. CPD units are awarded for teaching years of service.
• D. Renewal requires earning CPD units according to PRC rules.

Answer: (D)

RA 10912 makes continuing professional development mandatory for license renewal. For teachers, this means you must earn CPD units and have them recorded according to the rules set by the PRC and the Board of Professional Teachers in order to renew your professional license. It’s not automatic and it’s not simply earned by years of service; CPD units come from approved activities like trainings, courses, seminars, and other CPD programs. If you don’t meet the required CPD units within the renewal period, renewal isn’t granted.
