UK College of Education Certification Requirements
for 50 States


In an effort to facilitate the movement from one state to another, the UK College of Education will attempt to collect the teacher certification requirements for the 50 States. We recognize that States are continually revising their teacher certification/licensure rules and requirements. This page is intended to help you gather planning information on states of your choice! You might want to look at the certification requirements and later look for position announcements in the State. Good luck in your search!! 
 
 
Sometimes you will want more information about a State's educational offerings, you can go to the Council of Chief State School Officers for information on educational policy and legislation in the US. . If, in the course of your own search for teacher certification information, you find a better URL for a State or you find an un-listed State's URL, please let us know! Thank you for your cooperation.

Certification reciprocity facilitates movement, but you still must meet the receiving state's certification requirements. See the National Association of State Directors Teacher Education and Certification for information on certification reciprocity

NOTE: The 50 States Certification Requirements page is provided as a service by the UK College of Education. Please use the links there to find answers to questions about teacher certification requirements. We are unable to provide further information. 		Academic Excellence Award
