With respect to Tier 2 …… it’s designed to get teachers licensed even if they
haven’t passed their required content/pedagogy tests. However, you MUST have a job offer.
NOTE: If your job offer is with a private school, Tier 2 is NOT available. Tier 2 is available only to public schools (including public charter schools)! If you have a job offer from a private school, you must pass your required tests
and apply under Tier 3!
