Statutory Stipulations

CESA 1 can help educators who completed their preparation outside of Wisconsin meet the statutory license stipulations via a plan of study.

These stipulations must be met before the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) will remove them from the educator’s license.

Process

The Proficiency Based Licensure (PBL) Program at CESA 1 offers candidates who
need to complete WI Statutory Requirements for licensure an opportunity to meet the
requirements with a supportive plan of study. The plan of study may include readings,
videos and assignments, concluding with a final assessment. Official college credits are not issued as a result of completing this plan of study.

When a candidate successfully passes an exam, a certificate will be emailed. The certificate should be included with the DPI license application materials. Credits are not given for completing these exams.
