Although I have not seen anything official yet on procedures of the paperwork flow, etc., it is my understanding we can after July 1 renew with 6 hours of graduate work OR can get renewal points for in-services, both in district held/sponsored or ones we attend on our own (a teacher's conference in Indy, for example).
If your license is renewable in calendar year 2010, you may want to consider getting your paperwork in before June 30 to Indy, that way your renewal falls under current guidelines (6 hours to renew for 46-47, for example). Even my superintendent told us that at a meeting this year. Mine for example renews in December, and I am currently evaluating which one would be better in my case, pre July 1 or post July 1. Since I have the hours, and 6 hours are still allowed, and I have them, I think I am renewing in December, that way I don't loose a school year in the overall cycle of my licenses over time in my career.
Has Indiana Professional Standards Board posted anything yet on the renewal? I haven't even checked it out lately.

Apparently I can take 90 CR...See MoreI am attempting to learn about this as well - I can't seem to get much in the way of answers from the Board of Education.
As a rule 46-47 I can still take regular classes - but also I can take CEUs or CEUs or clock hours - these are things I don't understand - because it has NEVER been explained to me.
Apparently I can take 90 CRUs - but I can't understand how these translate to clock hours or whatever.
Since I am not currently teaching - I am looking for a low cost option - I already have over 200 college credit hours!!!
I have spent a fortune and NEVER been able to find a job - except for daily subbing - which in my county pays less than minimum wage. Subs cannot take the schools inservice programs either - so we have to pay our own way for anything.
It certainly is not inexpensive!
I also can't take any classes which require me to do lesson plans with students or whatever in a classroom - because I HAVE no classroom!! Subs cannot do this!
Looking at online CRUs - so far they are more expensive than the regular college courses.
Plus I live in a tiny country town in Indiana and have to sub during the day and work another job at night to survive - so online courses are my best option.
And unfortunately renewing my license in this economy will still not help finding a job - anywhere in this country with the massive layoffs!
Having already taken so much course work - it is also a challenge to find something I haven't already taken - since you can only use a class once!
Meanwhile my local schools are in big trouble with NCLB for low scores - but they won't hire teachers who have my level of education - I cost them too much!!

Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.
In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.
The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws – remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues. NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. Enclosed with this letter please find the contest guidelines and information on how students can send in their entries. Submissions for this contest are due by Monday, April 12, 2010.
We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.

Any words of wisdom? Good luck! They are letting teachers go and it has been stated that over 8000 teachers will be riffed this year.
I don't know if you are still looking but there is a part-time (3-5 classes) position open at Traders Point Christian Academy. It is a wonderful place to work. Their website is [link removed].
