How long is a Wyoming initial teaching license valid?

The initial teaching license in Wyoming is valid for three years. This duration is designed to allow new educators ample time to gain experience and demonstrate their effectiveness in the classroom while also enabling them to pursue any additional training or professional development required for further licensure. During this three-year period, teachers are encouraged to engage in continual learning and may need to complete certain assessments or performance evaluations to move toward a professional license, which would have a longer validity period. The three-year timeframe serves as a transitional period for educators entering the profession and helps ensure they are prepared for long-term success.
