PI 34 LICENSURE RULES FOR OUT-OF-STATE UNIVERSITIES
BASIS
OF LICENSURE
Wisconsin
grants licensure based on verification that a state-approved, professional
educator program (for teachers, administrators, pupil services personnel)
was completed at a regionally accredited institution. The certifying
officer of the college where the state-approved program was completed
must certify the applicant for Wisconsin licensure by completed
and signing/endorsing a Wisconsin PI-1612 Institutional Endorsement
form which is a required part of the PI-1602-OS
- "Out of State" application form.
Graduates
of a professional educator program in a state (or U.S. territory)
other than Wisconsin who have never held a Wisconsin educator license
must submit an "out-of-state" application even if they
currently reside in Wisconsin.
For
Winona State University graduates, candidates must meet the Minnesota
initial licensure rules by completing a Specialist degree or the
equivalent of a Master's degree plus 30 semester credits.
