License renewal
The length of your initial licensing period depends on the framework under which you were originally licensed. Under the Rules 46-47 licensing framework, licenses are valid for five years. Those who hold professionalized licenses may renew for 10 years.
Under the more recent Rules 2002/REPA framework, initial licenses are valid for two years, and renewal is dependent upon your participation in a mentorship/residency program under the guidance of an experienced Indiana teacher. However, if extenuating circumstances prevent you from taking part in a mentorship program (if you are teaching outside Indiana, or have not yet found a teaching position), you can request a two-year license extension from the state.
