What is PI 34?

PI 34 is the number that the State Department of Public Instruction assigned to the new rules regulating teacher licensing in Wisconsin.

The new process, developed with the direct involvement of Wisconsin's teachers:

Teachers holding a renewable license that expires between July 1, 2000, and June 30, 2008, may renew their licenses under the old rules. Currently licensed teachers may continue to renew their licenses by completing 6 semester credits of professional development or by completing a professional development plan as outlined in PI 34.

The links on this page provide access to articles and resources to help you better understand how these new rules affect you.
