The three-year district-sponsored license with stipulations allows the teacher to teach for up to three years in the license area while receiving supervision, mentoring, and professional development.  

Under law, the three-year district-sponsored license is only valid in the requesting district, CESA, or residential school that originally requested the license.  At the end of the three-year term, the three-year license with stipulations is not renewable in the same subject area or grade level through the same employing school district, CESA, or residential school.

To be eligible for the three-year district-sponsored license with stipulations, a teacher must:

• Hold a valid Provisional (Tier II), Lifetime (Tier III), or Master Educator (Tier IV) license.
• Have at least one year of contracted teaching experience in the requesting district.
• Be assigned to teach grades, and/or subjects outside what is authorized under their existing Wisconsin license.
