While this is a great idea, it will be difficult for licensure specialists to identify the required courses, especially for our out-of-state applicants. We will likely have to request course descriptions to ensure the courses qualify. This will create extra work and the time to fill positions will increase. As an alternative to this route, we would like to recommend having a Praxis II option for teachers with a 5 year renewable license.
