Upgrade to a Level 2 License: Entry Years Enhancement (EYE)
In June 2019, the Utah State Board of Education passed amendments to Utah Administrative Rule R277-522. This change allows any individual holding a current Level 1 license on January 1, 2020 to be upgraded to a Level 2 license after that date without passing the Praxis Principals of Learning and Teaching test (PLT). For the purpose of this rule, the Level 1 license does not include Level 1 — LEA-specific or Level 1 — APT licenses. It does include Level 1 licenses that have been extended.
