    Tiers without Fear!

    The MN tiered licensure system is complex and may be difficult to understand how best to move on to the next license tier level. Minnesota Education Equity Partnership (MnEEP), in collaboration with PELSB, has created a tool to decrease the complexity of the tiered licensure system. Tiers without Fear enables you to quickly identify what you need to advance your career by selecting your experience and training levels and shows you what steps you may choose to move on to the next tiered level.
