As of December 2010, Wisconsin educators who hold a valid Professional Educator license in world language (excluding ESL); social studies; science; English language arts; and mathematics/computer science are eligible to add on licensure in a related area based on passing a content test approved by the State Superintendent. For example, a Science teacher who holds a Wisconsin Professional Educator license to teach biology could add a chemistry license by passing the chemistry test. Use this information to check your eligibility and expand your teaching options.
