Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-6-154.1: Renewal of Standard Teaching Certificate

A. The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules by which

a person who holds a valid Oklahoma Standard Teaching Certificate

may satisfy requirements for renewal of the Standard Teaching

Certificate by completing staff development programs, conferences

and seminars in lieu of teaching experience or higher education

credits required by the State Board of Education for certificate

renewal. Only programs, conferences and seminars recognized for

staff development credit by an Oklahoma public school district at

the time the teacher attends the program, conference or seminar may

be used to fulfill requirements under this section. The State Board

of Education shall not require more staff development credit to be

earned for certificate renewal than the Board requires teachers and

administrators to earn pursuant to Section 6-158 of Title 70 of the

Oklahoma Statutes.

B. District boards of education may charge a reasonable fee for

a holder of a valid Oklahoma Standard Teaching Certificate who is

not employed as a teacher or administrator in an Oklahoma public

school to attend district-sponsored staff development programs or

seminars.
