Step-by-Step Guide
1. Accessing the Proserva Website
Navigate to the Proserva Portal:
Open your preferred web browser and go to Proserva's official website.
On the homepage, you can either click on "Get Started" or select "Sign Up" located at the top right corner of the page.
2. Signing Up or Logging In
Enter Your Email Address:
Use an email address that you frequently access. This could be your district-provided email or a personal email (e.g., Gmail or Microsoft account).
Example:
name@domain.com
Account Creation Options:
You can sign up using your Google or Microsoft account for convenience.
Alternatively, you may choose to set a password manually.
3. Completing Your Profile
Fill in Profile Details:
Select "Teacher" from the role options.
Enter your first and last name.
Specify your state.
Inputting the site or school where you work is optional; you may skip this step.
4. Navigating the Dashboard
Access the License Renewal Section:
Once logged in, proceed to the homepage and locate the course catalog.
Navigate to the "License" tab and ensure you are on the "Renew" sub-tab.
5. Tracking and Entering License Details
Start the Renewal Tracking:
Click on the "Get Started" button in the banner that asks if you need to track your renewal.
Select your tier and confirm your state if not previously specified.
Enter your folder number and select the district to which you are submitting your renewal.
Choose the option "Just for Me" and click "Confirm".
6. Syncing and Recording Hours
Sync and View Your Licenses:
Once you have entered the necessary details, PELSB will synchronize your licenses, which will then be displayed.
You can now start recording your hours.
To record hours, click the "Record Hours" button and fill in the required details such as:
Upload documents (e.g., PDFs).
Title the document (e.g., "C Clock Hours").
Specify the number of hours, date, evidence category, and criteria.
Description of evidence is optional.
Select if the document is both certified and click "Add".
7. Submitting Your Renewal
Review and Submit Your Hours:
Once your hours are recorded, they will appear at the bottom of the page with a "Pending" status.
When they are approved, the status will change to "Approved".
If you have accumulated sufficient hours, click the "Submit" button.
If you do not have enough hours, you may still submit your renewal, but it is likely to be rejected unless previously recorded hours are recognized by the PELSB licensing system.
8. Finalizing the Renewal
Confirmation and Waiting Period:
After submission, your renewal will be pending approval.
Approval can take between three to six weeks. During this period, your license will be processed and renewed in the PELSB online licensing system.
You will receive an email notification detailing the completion of your renewal and any subsequent steps.
