Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Texas Teachers
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) is crucial for Texas teachers to maintain their certification and ensure high-quality education for students. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) mandates that classroom teachers complete 150 CPE hours every five years to renew their standard certificate.
Key Reasons Why CPE Matters:
- Compliance with State Requirements: CPE is a legal requirement for certificate renewal. Failure to meet these requirements can result in an inactive certificate status.
- Professional Growth: Engaging in CPE activities helps educators stay current with the latest teaching strategies, content knowledge, and educational technologies, enhancing their effectiveness in the classroom.
- Career Advancement: Completing CPE can open doors to leadership roles and salary increases, as many districts value ongoing professional development.

Teachers can earn CPE hours for their Texas Licensure renewal through Passage Preparation Courses. Our courses are developed by educators and are designed to engage teachers in multifaceted and rigorous activities to model the learning experience of their students. Each course embeds an understanding of differentiation and culturally competent approaches to teaching and learning.

“Since working with Passage Preparation and attending their free online lectures for members, I feel more confident about taking the test. I highly recommend Passage Preparation to anyone doubting their abilities or wanting a one-stop shop for test data and information.”
“Passage Prep not only had facts I needed to know, but taught me the reason behind the facts, how to use those facts to assist students and improve my teaching of specific subjects to a specific audience.”
