Teacher Certification

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 conventional pathway to acquire certification involves participating in a teaching certification program offered by colleges and universities, whereas the non-traditional route is the alternative certification program, now widely embraced as the streamlined, cost-effective, and preferred pathway for individuals with a bachelor’s degree.
