PRPIL Home

PRPIL (Performance Review Program for Initial Licensure) is the alternative Massachusetts Teacher Licensing program for teachers who wish to advance from a Provisional license to an Initial license. Earn your initial license in less than 6 months, while you teach, at a lower cost than other routes.

PRPIL is the only Route 2 pathway in the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education's Regulations for Educator Licensure and Preparation Program Approval. Etio (formerly Class Measures Inc.) administers this program on behalf of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
