Can I become eligible for the Professional stage of licensure by completing a program at HGSE?
No. There is not currently a program at HGSE that is state-approved for the Professional stage of licensure. To be eligible for the Professional license, you must teach under your Initial license for three full years. In the first of these three years, you are to complete an Induction Program that will be provided for you by the school district in which you work. You will need to complete a 50-hour mentored experience beyond the induction year and required coursework. See Section 7.04 Types of Licenses, Requirements for Licensure, Licenses Issued, and Requirements for Field-Based Experience to obtain information as to how you can meet the coursework requirement for Professional licensure. To find programs that are state-approved for Professional licensure, please see the DOE’s Educator Preparation Programs Directory.
