Program Details
The Restricted Teaching License Alternative Pathway is one of numerous routes to the classroom. It is intended to respond to the needs of school districts when hiring qualified, licensed teachers. It is designed to recruit professionals who have a bachelor’s, master’s degree, or equivalent coursework in a content area they want to teach and are seeking a career change. Heritage language speakers with a bachelor’s degree or higher can also utilize the restricted licensure 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.
