The Department of Education announces the launch of the Educator License Information (ELI) application available at www.TN.gov. The ELI application allows educators to monitor all information related to their license, renew their license, add endorsements, and edit personal information through an easy to use online interface. ELI also provides the public the ability to search for educators by either name or teacher license number.
“We are very excited about this application, as it represents the first phase of what we hope will be a much more accessible, efficient way for educators to navigate the licensing process,” said Sara Heyburn, Interim Assistant Commissioner of Teachers and Leaders at the Department of Education.
It is increasingly important for educators to have multiple subject matter areas they are qualified to teach. ELI will now make it easier than ever for educators to add endorsements to their license. Formally a manual process that could take days, ELI now empowers educators to complete this process electronically in minutes. ELI also allows educators the ability to monitor the qualifications related to their license including certificates, education, exams, and previous education employment.
By empowering educators to self-administer their information and documentation, ELI also streamlines agency activities. ELI will ease paper work for agency staff and reduce data entry errors as educators manage their personal data records.
The Department of Education and the TN.gov team are excited about the initial release of ELI but also plan for additional features and functionality to be offered through the system in the future.
