Teacher Licensure
The Teacher Licensure (TL) team is responsible for issuing educator licenses, facilitating the review of educator training programs at all Kansas institutions of higher education and coordinating a process for those institutions that leads to accreditation by the Kansas State Board of Education, and coordinating and supporting professional learning.
Members of the Kansas State Board of Education voted this week to continue with the modifications made to the state’s emergency substitute teacher licenses.
The modifications include the requirement of a high school diploma, completion of a KSDE-approved online training course and verification of hire for each school district the applicant wishes to serve as a substitute teacher. Individuals may substitute up to 75 school days a semester and no more than 25 consecutive days in the same assignment in one school district. A background check will continue to be required for all applicants.
