Wisconsin's New Teacher Licensure Process

The new licensure system enables you to take charge of your career. It will also ensure that students in Wisconsin's public schools are taught by teachers who work to continuously improve their teaching abilities.

The ten Wisconsin Teacher Standards will guide existing teacher preparation, determine the acceptability of out-of-state certification for Wisconsin licensing, and serve as career-long guideline for teacher evaluation, license renewal, and professional development.

School administrators and pupil services personnel will also be required to meet the ten Teacher Standards as well as standards specific to their respective school responsibilities.

• Three major changes accompany the new licensure rules
• The three license stages
• The 10 Wisconsin Teacher Standards
• The Wisconsin Professional Standards Council for Teachers
• Educator license stages in the new system
