What does it mean to “apply under the rules of reciprocity”?
Licensing regulations allow the Licensing Office to review the credentials of applicants from other states/countries under these conditions: • If the candidate has graduated from a state-approved educator preparation program in another state and received a recommendation for licensure from that institution for that state. Or • If a candidate has a current, comparable license (teacher, or administrator) from a state with which Vermont has signed the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement provided the candidate can demonstrate at least 3 years of successful work in a school within the past 7 years in the licensure endorsement or subject area. Those who do not meet this condition can obtain licensure through Vermonts Alternative Route: The Peer Review process. This new rule includes candidates who have been issued licenses in foreign countries. These candidates must also demonstrate they meet the equivalent degree requirements specified in the endorsement competencies via an official document crede
