K-12 ESL Licensure via Portfolio
We offer an additional practical pathway for teachers with extensive experience supporting multilingual learners to earn a K-12 ESL license.
Licensure via Portfolio is an alternative pathway for educators in Minnesota to earn a teaching license or add an additional licensure field. It is intended for educators who already have experience and expertise in the area for which they are seeking licensure.
