The Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB) is responsible for issuing licenses and for collecting and reporting data on the number of licensed teachers in Minnesota as well as their assignments.
In Minnesota, a teacher providing instruction in a public school, charter school, or other educational institution must hold a license aligned to the field and grade level taught.
PELSB's Minnesota Educator Workforce Data Dashboard provides a wealth of data about educators (teachers, school counselors, school nurses, speech language pathologists, school social workers, and school psychologists). The dashboard has been organized into three main areas: Educator Preparation and Pathways, Tiered Licensure and Permissions, and Educator Workforce.
