  • Apply for teacher licensure/certification
  • Apply for administrator licensure/certification
  • Apply for plus credit
  • Add/Update/Print professional growth against a current license/permit

Those people who are given permission to participate in one or more of DEEDS' extranets will be able to:
  • Apply for a paraeducator permit
  • Search for licensed educators employed in within a given district
  • Search for unemployed educators statewide
  • View reports
  • Verify/Finalize professional growth against an employed educator's current license/permit
  • View employed educator qualifications (i.e. college degrees, CPR certification, out-of-state credentials, student teaching, etc.)

Please note, in order to register with DEEDS online, you must supply your Social Security Number. It is important to know that DEEDS needs your Social Security Number in order to retrieve your PRAXIS test scores from the Education Testing Service. These scores are not accepted via paper. Also, DEEDS will not be able to access your current employment in the state of Delaware without your Social Security Number.

The Department of Education takes every measure to protect your Social Security Number including:

  • Scrambling your Social Security Number as it travels from your computer to our computer
  • NEVER displaying it on the web to anyone, anywhere, at anytime
  • NEVER selling your information to anyone, anywhere, at anytime

You may choose to register with DEEDS via paper without using your Social Security Number, but please understand, we will not be able to get your test scores from ETS. Applications for licensure/certification that require test scores (PRAXIS I, PRAXIS II, SAT, GRE, CBEST, NTE, PARAPRO, and ACCUPlacer) cannot be processed. Also, we will not be able to get your Delaware employment records from the state human resources system. This prevents your school district or charter school's ability to track your professional growth for your license. You cannot renew your license without your district's verification of your professional growth. All users who register with DEEDS via paper face significantly longer wait times for processing.

Once you start Step 1, you need to finish all steps to be considered fully registered. Are you ready to join the DEEDS community?
