Licensure Rules Still Evolving Brad Schneider, WMEA State Chair, Government Relations
Largely in response to the teacher short- age, large-scale changes have re- vamped teacher licensing. The 2017- 19 Wisconsin state budget, also known as Act 59, contains major changes to
licensure rules. This includes language creating a lifetime license for educators.
Anyone who holds a current professional or master educator license has automati- cally been notified that his or her present license has converted to a lifetime license. This was done by DPI removing the expi- ration date from our licenses.
The licensure changes were designed to ease the license renewal requirement that has been in place since 1995.

Three-Year Provisional License Replacing the current initial educator license, the three-year provisional license has been issued to educators in the first three years of their careers. After six se- mesters, an educator may apply for a life- time license, by submitting an application to DPI that includes a school board sign off that they have completed six semesters of successful experience. If the educator has not met the requirements, they can reapply for a provisional license with no limits to the number of reapplications.
