EDUCATOR LICENSING
(Updated 8/23/05)

The Vermont Department of Education's Licensing Office administers regulations and procedures that have been established to evaluate the credentials of prospective educators to ensure that they meet specified preparation standards and requirements. Established by the Vermont Standards Board for Professional Educators (VSBPE) and approved by the State Board of Education, Vermont's regulations governing educator preparation and licensing require professional employees of all Vermont public elementary, middle and secondary schools to hold state licensure appropriate for their assignment(s).

Those interested in licensing information may contact the Licensing Office by phone or e-mail. The Licensing Office receives its highest volume of requests for application materials and other information from late spring through mid-autumn (May to October). Although every attempt is made to answer all requests as quickly as possible, during this time, requests received by e-mail often receive the quickest response.
