Introduction
The State of Minnesota added an additional requirement for license renewal in 2012. Beginning July 1, 2012, all individuals who were employed as a teacher during any part of the five-year period immediately preceding the license renewal must include “evidence of work that demonstrates professional reflection and growth in best teaching practices. The applicant must include a reflective statement of professional accomplishment and the applicant’s own assessment of professional growth” in their license renewal materials. This “Reflective Statement” offering provides an easy guide for you to meet this requirement.
