The Beginning Teacher Support Program is a three-year period of support for beginning teachers. The initial (Standard Professional 1) license, which is valid for three years, allows the teacher to begin practicing the profession on an independent basis. At the end of the three-year period, the teacher is either granted or denied a continuing license. Beginning teachers are eligible for continuing license based on three years of teaching experience and successful completion of Performance-Based Licensure requirements, provided the designated official in the employing LEA, charter school, or non-public institution has no knowledge of any reason related to conduct or character to deny an individual teacher a continuing license.
