Can I piece together coursework and fieldwork requirements for Initial Massachusetts licensure without being officially enrolled in a state-approved program?
Generally, no. In order to be eligible for a Massachusetts license at the Initial stage, you must complete all requirements of a state-approved educator preparation program. However, the DOE provides a Panel Review process for Administrators and Support Personnel applicants who have not met all of the licensure requirements but who have significant experience and formal education relevant to the license sought. The DOE also offers an Apprenticeship/Internship option for Administrator licenses.
