New teachers must complete a Professional Development Plan (PDP) developed with the school principal. Completion of the PDP, a mentoring program, and at least three years of experience with ratings of “Effective” or above with the approval of their school district to advance to the next level is required to move up to Level II Professional licensure. Candidates may pursue the highest level of licensure, Level III, by completing a master’s degree and three years of teaching with “Effective” ratings or better at Level II.
