Massachusetts Educator License Mapping Tool: Dashboard

The Massachusetts Educator License Mapping Tool links educator licenses to courses. The current version of the mapping tool reflects several important changes from the 2018-19 pilot version, including:
<ul><li>Educators with a moderate disabilities and/or severe disabilities license are considered "in-field" for all courses within the grade span and content areas for the license. (e.g. a teacher with a PreK-8 Moderate Disabilities license will be "in-field" when teaching a grade 5 math course but is considered "out-of-field" if teaching grade 4 music).</li>
<li>Legacy licenses are appropriately reflected in the crosswalk.</li>
<li>Some specific courses were updated with additional licensure fields deemed appropriate. (e.g. a teacher with a Business license will be "in-field" when teaching a marketing course).</li>
<li>Updates to the courses that an Early Childhood or Elementary teacher is "in-field" for teaching (e.g. an Elementary teacher is not "in-field" when teaching Music).</li></ul>Please note that while the mapping tool can serve as guidance to districts in considering hiring and assignment of individual educators, it does not prohibit a district from assigning an out-of-field educator to a course.

马萨诸塞州教育工作者许可证映射工具将教育工作者许可证与课程进行关联。当前版本的映射工具反映了自2018-19试点版本以来的一些重要变化，包括：
<ul><li>持有中等残疾和/或严重残疾许可证的教育工作者被视为在许可证所涵盖的学段和内容领域内“领域内”教师。例如，持有PreK-8中等残疾许可证的教师在进行五年级数学课程教学时将被视为“领域内”教师，但如果教授四年级音乐课程，则被视为“领域外”教师。</li>
<li>在交叉映射中适当反映了历史许可证。</li>
<li>一些特定课程根据适当的许可领域进行了更新。（例如，持有商业许可证的教师在进行市场营销课程教学时将被视为“领域内”教师。）</li>
<li>对早期儿童或小学教师“领域内”教授的课程进行了更新（例如，小学教师在教授音乐时不得被视为“领域内”教师）。</li></ul>请注意，虽然映射工具可以作为向各学区提供招聘和教育工作者分配的指导，但它并不禁止学区将“领域外”教师分配到某个课程。
