Educator Quality & Licensing

Level 1 to Level 2

The Level 1 Utah Educator License is issued to an individual who is recommended by a Board-approved educator preparation program, an individual approved by an alternative reparation program, or an educator with a license from another state.

During the three-year duration of the Level 1 license, the new teacher is supervised by the employing charter school or district and completes the EYE requirements. A Level 2 license is issued after three years of service, the completion of all EYE requirements, and a recommendation by the employing charter school or district (Recommendation Form - PDF). The Level 2 license is issued for five years and may be renewed for successive five-year periods.

If a Level 1 teacher fails to complete all of the EYE requirements within the three-year period, the employer may request a one-year extension of the Level 1 license (Level 1 Extension Form - PDF) in order to provide time for the educator to complete the requirements.

If the applicant has previous teaching experience in a public or accredited private school, the years of service may be accepted toward the three-year EYE requirement at the discretion of the employing charter school or district. If the applicant has three or more years of previous educator experience in a public or accredited private school, a Level 2 license may be issued upon the recommendation of the employing Utah charter school or district after at least one year of experience.
