How do I obtain an Initial Educator License?

Wisconsin - Initial Educator License (Teacher, School Counselor, School Psychologist):

The Wisconsin Initial In-State Education License application is form PI-1602-IS, also available from the Dean's Office, College of Education Health and Human Sciences, 214 Home Ec. Complete the application and return it to the Licensing Coordinator in 214 Home Ec., along with the license fee ($100 made payable to Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction).  The Licensing Coordinator will request your transcript, endorse the application, mail it to DPI directly, and issue you a Verification of Program Completion form to show that the application is in process.  Fingerprint cards are required if you have worked, resided, or physically attended classes in a state other than Wisconsin within the last twenty years after age 17.  Please contact the CEHHS Dean's Office (214 Home Ec.) to obtain the DPI-required cards.
