Managing Certifications in a Portfolio (Texas Specific)

For Texas districts, users can track their professional learning portfolio for State Board of Educator Certification (SBEC) renewal. For provisional certificates requiring CPE hour renewals, Strive portfolios allow you to track hours for each certification and print a report to submit for renewal. The print option produces a PDF file including all certifications with CPE hours of completion.
