The Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB) is responsible for licensing teachers in Minnesota, establishing the state standards required to be a licensed teacher, approving the state’s teacher licensure programs, and overseeing teacher ethics cases. The PELSB Data Center provides a wealth of data about licensed educators, teacher preparation programs, teacher shortage areas, and trends in the teaching profession overtime.
