Most states allow you to lookup teacher licenses using last name and they have a “secure” version of the same site for employers and employees to update data. Most of the secure sites use a combination of last names, dob, and/or SSNs to authenticate teachers.
- threatofrain 5y agoBut isn't this a front-facing site?
- pacbard 5y agoI don't get what you mean by front-facing website. Do you mean accessible by the public? Isn't that the point of websites that allows the public to look up professional licenses? I would imagine that there are similar websites for all other licensed professionals. BTW, California has a similar website that allows employers to put in SSN and DOB to lookup a teacher's license: https://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/lookup https://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/lookup It seems that Missouri had a similar setup that required a teacher's last name and the last 4 SSN digits.
- threatofrain 5y agoWhen you say secured version of a site, I had assumed that you were talking about something that's meant for administrative employees and only internally visible, not something that is open to any visitor. I can't imagine the workflow in allowing a random user to make these queries.
