The state of Kansas has a three-tier system for teacher licensure: Initial (or Transitional), Professional, and Accomplished. Initial license is issued to educators new to the teaching profession. Initial license may be renewed within 5 years of the issuance of the first Initial license. Professional Teaching License is the standard license in Kansas, and must be renewed every 5 years. Professional license requires five or more years of accredited experience, three of which are consecutive in the same district. The Professional Teaching License in Kansas may be renewed by meeting educational, professional development and/or accredited experience requirements, which vary depending on the highest level of education received (bachelor’s or master’s degree). Accomplished Teacher License is granted to holders of a currently valid Kansas Professional teaching license when they achieve a National Board Certification from the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) through completion of their advanced level performance assessment process.
