Temporary or provisional interstate outcome
Requirement
An initial applicant who meets all other requirements but lacks the applicable Praxis content assessment can receive a temporary nonrenewable license valid only through June 30 of the school year issued.
Who may qualify for this certificate
Kansas evaluates a current standard out-of-state license, matching endorsements, approved preparation, content testing and recent teaching experience for initial Kansas licensure.
What can change this answer
The source license must be current, standard and in good standing, and the applicant must show at least one year of teaching within the two years before application; if every requirement except the Kansas Praxis content assessment is met, a temporary nonrenewable license can bridge only through June 30 of the school year issued.
Documents you may need
Kansas requires official degree transcripts, the current standard source license, preparation-program verification, content-assessment evidence, recent teaching-experience verification and fingerprints for the background check.
What must be completed or resolved
- •The Kansas license must match the endorsements on the source license
- •The source license must be in good standing and free of disciplinary action
- •At least one year of teaching in the two years before application is required on the current out-of-state route
- •The temporary nonrenewable bridge applies only to initial applicants missing the content assessment and expires June 30 of the issuing school year
Record the expiration date and check whether the certificate can be renewed or converted to a standard certificate.
