How does a teacher prepared outside the United States apply for a MN license?
Teachers prepared outside the United States may be eligible for a license to teach in MN. However, due to vast differences among nations in training and licensure requirements, it is necessary that, before CFL can determine your eligibility for a MN license, you will need to have your transcripts of credits, pattern of training, and degrees awarded evaluated by a professional evaluation service. Only through this detailed evaluation process can it be determined if your foreign preparation is equivalent to the preparation required for a license in MN. CFL will need to know that you have completed the equivalent of a bachelors degree in teacher education. CFL will also need to know the grade levels and/or the major and minor subjects that you have been prepared to teach. Agencies providing evaluation services may be contacted at: http://www.naces.org/members.htm. The final detailed evaluation should then be sent to CFL.
