Teacher Certification in Your State

Once you earn your bachelor’s degree in education and finish your student teaching and prep programs, you’ll need to know how get your certification or licensing in the state where you plan to teach. Each state is slightly different, but our guide can help you get all the facts.

• Certification Requirements
  The rigorous requirements for certification and licensing ensure that teachers meet standards in their subject areas for the age group they teach, and are up to speed in their knowledge of teaching methods. All certifying bodies require a college degree, completion of certain education courses, student teaching experience and the passage of an approved exam.
• Licensing by State
  Each state has its own set of requirements for teacher certification, and there is no guarantee that teacher certification in one state will be accepted in another state. But all states require certified teachers to hold a bachelor’s degree, and more and more states now require candidates to hold a master’s degree or receive one within the first five years of teaching.
• Special Situations and Alternative Paths
  There are several common situations in which you can get certified faster, temporarily, or teach without going through the certification process. Learn about alternative certification, certification reciprocity, emergency credentials and more.
