Teacher licensing in Utah ensures your child's teacher is highly qualified to be teaching your child. Utah State Board of Education allows teacher candidates to become licensed via two ways--University-based program, or an Alternate Pathway to Professional Licensure (APPEL). Candidates can also be licensed via a Local-Specific License that is voted on in a open and public meeting and then approved by the Utah State Board of Education.
