The Restricted Teaching License nontraditional pathway is intended to respond to school districts’ needs in hiring qualified licensed teachers. It is designed to recruit mid-career professionals who hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree, or hold a degree and have completed equivalent coursework in a content area they want to teach in.
Heritage language speakers with a bachelor’s degree or higher can also utilize the Restricted License to teach their native languages.
This pathway provides an opportunity for these individuals to have immediate access to start teaching under a Restricted License while completing professional education pedagogy coursework to become fully licensed.
*The Restricted License Pathway is only available for secondary content areas and limited numbers of all level subjects.
