Requirements - First Issuance

Hold an initial, standard, master or regional exchange teaching license, and have a position offer as a licensed administrator in the endorsement area.

Administrators seeking an additional administrative endorsement, such as Principal or Superintendent, may be eligible for a Class B conditional license if they have completed at least 75% of the required coursework for the requested endorsement. The Class B license allows educators to serve in the new administrative endorsement area while completing the remaining coursework.
