Minnesota HF585 modifies teacher licensing requirements for those licensed in other states.

Minnesota HF585 amends the state's education statutes to modify provisions for teachers licensed in another state to teach in Minnesota. The bill exempts teachers with three consecutive years of teaching experience in another state from additional examinations in Minnesota. It also limits the probationary period for such teachers to one year. The bill requires school boards to adopt plans for written evaluations of probationary teachers and mandates that these evaluations occur at least three times during the school year, with the first evaluation within the first 90 days of teaching service.
