The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education considers educators to be prepared outside of the United States and eligible for the panel review when they possess a bachelor’s degree earned through a regionally accredited organization or the equivalent, and pass the Communication and Literacy Skills MTEL test. Applicants seeking licensure on the basis of foreign (non-U.S.) coursework and/or diplomas must provide the Office of Educator Licensure with a detailed equivalency report or course-by-course evaluation of any college-level credit completed. Independent evaluations must be made by a nationally recognized agency or an agency that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services.
