experience credit based on semester hours taught. The school year is the period between July 1 and June 30, and a
total of 24 semester hours per school year is considered full time teaching.

Please Note:
Full-time equivalents (FTEs) will be based on the 190-day school year for computation.
The minimum experience to be credited shall be one-tenth (.1) FTE per year; the maximum experience to be credited shall be (1)
FTE per year. A school day is defined as a minimum of seven hours.
One (1) year of experience may be credited provided the teacher is employed in a full-time position for a minimum of 152
days.
Partial-year experience will be calculated on a pro-rated scale to determine the credit documented.
Summer school teaching credit will be calculated at the rate of:
Two (2) days of summer school as the equivalent of one (1) regular school day provided the teacher works one (1) session for four
(4) hours per day, or one (1) regular school day provided the teacher works two (2) sessions for eight (8) hours per day.
Effective July 1, 2001 summer school teaching credit may be added to the preceding partial school year. (eg: 20 full-time days from
summer 2013 can be added to 132 full-time days on file for the 2012-2013 school year to create a full year of experience.)
Private school experience is defined as a professional education or training position in a privately funded education program
for school-aged or adult populations.
Public school experience is defined as a professional education position in a city, county, state, or federal educational
system that supports the primary education program for school-aged or adult populations.

listed on this form.
All recent public school experience from out-of-state must come from the correlating district office where the school was
