Residency vs Professional License
Greetings,
License is up for renewal this year and I am looking at different options. I have no intention of ever teaching in the state my current license is in. To renew, it would cost roughly 1k USD and take 2-4 months of online course work. Needless to say, that doesn't sound too appealing to me. I am looking at options of using my current license to get licensed in other states, preferably, not having to take other tests or needing x amount of teaching experience. Washington State has an easy process that gives one a Residency License that never expires if you don't ever actually teach in the state of Washington. I have spoken to a few ITs and they have told me they were never asked what type of license they had and that most schools simply want to know if you are currently licensed to teach in your home country. Is this accurate? I have seen Mississippi isn't that hard to get licensed in and it gives one a 5-year Professional license. Wondering, if I should attempt to get that one to go along with the Washington one.
Thoughts?
