Basic and
Standard Teaching Licenses with Authorizations and Endorsements
(1) A Basic
Teaching License issued under rules adopted prior to 1999 is valid for three
years and may be renewed under conditions set forth in division 048. Except as
provided in subsection (b) immediately below, the endorsements are valid only
for assignments in grades K through grade nine if requirements leading to
standard licensure are not met.
(a) To
retain authorization for teaching in a high school, holders of subject matter
endorsements must meet renewal requirements leading to standard licensure (See,
Division 40 for further information).
(b) If the
Basic Teaching License is endorsed in art, library (educational) media, world
(foreign) language, health, family and consumer science (home economics),
technology (industrial arts), music, physical education and reading, the
assignment is limited to preprimary programs and grades 1 through 8, in any
school and grade 9 if the teacher is teaching in a middle school or a junior
high.

Standard Teaching License issued under rules adopted prior to 1999 is valid for

in grades five through twelve or in preprimary through grade twelve for which a
renewed Basic Teaching License may not provide authorization. These
authorizations and endorsements are explained in the following sections.
