Core application evidence
Requirement
The application uses the professional source credential, required degree and endorsement evidence, test records, Vermont criminal-record clearance and required affirmations.
Which application this evidence supports
Vermont issues a comparable Level I Professional Educator License to a qualifying professional-license holder from a participating NASDTEC jurisdiction, while other cases use transcript review.
What can change this answer
The streamlined branch requires a professional source license from a participating jurisdiction, the degree required for the Vermont endorsement and Vermont's jurisdiction-specific requirements; nonparticipating jurisdictions and uncovered endorsements require transcript review.
Conditions to resolve before sending records
- •The source license must be professional and from a jurisdiction participating with Vermont for the relevant category
- •The applicant must hold the degree required for the endorsement
- •Vermont-specific requirements, testing, background checks and affirmations still apply
- •A preparation recommendation ten or more years old triggers updated-knowledge and skills requirements
Send identity documents and background records only where the state agency instructs. TeachPassport does not receive them.
