Minnesota Board of Teaching

The Board of Teaching, created in 1973, provides leadership for improvements in teacher education programs in order to assure that the state has well-qualified, professional teachers.

The Governor appoints eleven members to the Board of Teaching: six classroom teachers, one higher education faculty member, one school administrator and three members of the public, two of whom must have spent some time on a local school board. The board determines the standards and practices that will serve the state's teachers and teacher preparation institutions.

Rulemaking for reading, middle level, and technology-related licensure. The Request for Comment period will close on Friday, October 24. The draft proposed rules can be found under Board Rules and Resolutions. Contact our office with questions about the rulemaking process.
