Teacher certification, also known as teacher licensure, is the credential that permits educators to instruct students at the elementary, middle and high school levels. All states require teachers to obtain certification to work in public and some private schools. Each state sets the requirements for achieving teacher certification within that state. The traditional route to obtain a certification would be a teaching certification program found in colleges and universities while the non-traditional route is the alternative certification program which is now the preferred, fastest, and most affordable route for those who already have a bachelor’s degree.
Teachers of Tomorrow is actively engaged in the process for national accreditation through the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP). We are on track to submit our Quality Assurance Report in April 2020 and have a site visit scheduled in October 2020.

An alternative teachers certification (ACP) is the process in which someone completes training and receives a teachers certification without completing a traditional program. For example, if someone took a traditional route, they would be receiving either their Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in education and it would take them years versus months. Alternative teachers certifications are typically much less expensive and time-consuming. Find out if an alternative teachers certification is a good fit for you!
