Minnesota requires 125 clock hours per five years for the Tier 4 license (modeled as the standard professional baseline; Tier 3 requires 75 hours per three years). Required areas include positive behavioral interventions, scientifically based reading, early-onset mental-illness warning signs (including at least 1 hour of suicide prevention), English learners, cultural competency, and American Indian history and culture; only the explicitly quantified minimums are modeled as categories.
