multiple sources of data; (#3) collaborative; (#4) includes varied learning experiences that accommodate individual educators' knowledge
and skills; (#5) evaluated by its short- and long-term impact on professional practice and achievement of all students; (#6) results in the
acquisition, enhancement or refinement of skills and knowledge. You must target each HQPD at least once within your 5-year

Aligning Licenses
Purpose: To reduce the cost for license
renewal and mandatory fingerprints.
 Options for existing multiple-license
holders.

 As a certificate expires and is ready to be
transitioned to a license, it may be issued as
a separate five-year license with an effective
date reflective of the current year, or it may
be added to a currently existing five-year
professional license.
Aligning Licenses (continued)

New licenses issued separately.
 When educators meet requirements for
provisional or professional licensure in an
additional area or qualifies to advance the
new license will be issued as a separate
license with a current effective year and will
not be back dated to join an exiting license.
 Requirements for license renewal remain
unchanged, regardless of whether licenses
are issued separately or together.
