DESE will be rolling out update to the ELAR online application system through July to reflect these changes. Educators interested in obtaining a new license may upload relevant documents in ELAR prior to the applications going live.
Once applications open for the new licenses or new pathways, educators may apply in ELAR for the license and submit any payment. License applications generally take two weeks for a review. If the applicant is missing any requirements, they can be submitted after the application is filed and/or reviewed by DESE.
