Teachers can apply for a FIRST Emergency license as an English as a second language (ESL) teacher, teacher of students with moderate disabilities, teacher of students with severe disabilities or other special education teacher licenses via ELAR. A bachelor’s degree is required for the first license to be issued.
To EXTEND an Emergency ESL or special education license, the candidate will need to submit additional requirements to ELAR via the online application or the paper application. This applies to both “old” and “new” Emergency licenses in ESL and special education. The Emergency Extension Requirements identifies the specific requirements for each license.
