You would simply activate your certificate once you return back to work. If you want it to remain active, just complete any continuing education requirements and pay your annual fee to keep your certificate updated. I'd definitely contact your state board and inquire about precise certification procedures... every state seems to be a little different.

That's where I would start. They have to have an answer to that question. If you taught at a school district previously, ask them. Go to the DESE of the State of Texas. That’s where I would start.
