LICENSING:
ALTERNATE
LICENSURE ROUTE (PEER REVIEW)
(Updated 9/4/07)

|
OVERVIEW
 |
| |
|
| |
Most individuals wishing
to become licensed as teachers or administrators have graduated from state approved
preparation programs and received a recommendation for licensure from their institution.
Vermont has created an "alternative route to licensure" for those who wish
to become licensed educators but have not completed a traditional educator
preparation program at a college or university. Vermont’s alternate route is called
License by Evaluation or "Peer Review."
Peer Review is for individuals who have acquired the knowledge and skills needed
to meet the 16 Principles for Vermont Educators and the competencies and requirements
for the endorsements they seek through coursework and experiences, rather than through
a preparation program.
NOTE: Peer Review is NOT an alternate preparation program. Acceptance into the Peer
Review process requires a baccalaureate degree. |
