Simplify Your Delaware License Renewal & District Salary Advancement

Delaware Continuing License Renewal

100% Renewal Hours in 2 Courses: Under 14 DE Admin. Code 1511, 1 college semester credit equals 15 clock/contact hours. Completing two 3-credit Upward courses yields 90 clock hours—fully satisfying the 90-hour requirement to renew your 5-Year Continuing License.
Fulfills the 45-Hour Direct Work Requirement: State regulations mandate that at least 45 of your 90 clock hours directly relate to your work with students or staff. Upward’s instruction and pedagogy focused curriculum directly satisfies this threshold.
Employing Authority & DEEDS Ready: Delaware educators log professional learning through their local employing authority via DEEDS. We provide full course syllabi to streamline your pre-approval process.

Permanent Base Pay Increases: Stack official UMass Global graduate credits to cross compensation thresholds on your local Delaware district salary matrix (e.g., Master's, Master's+15, Master's+30, Master's+45/Doctorate equivalent).
High-ROI Investment: At $240 per course, moving up a single salary column delivers a permanent, compounding bump to your annual earnings and state pension base.
