#GetReady to Teach!

Obtain Your Form RL


For the 2020-2021 academic year only, you are eligible to receive your Form RL (what you need to get hired!) as soon as you enroll with North Carolina Teachers. This means you are instantly eligible for hire, once enrolled! Make sure to take advantage of this limited-time opportunity and get started today! We encourage you to begin your job search as soon as you receive your Form RL.

Let’s #GetReady! After you enroll, be sure to up your Intern Portal. We also encourage you to register and create your free Praxis and Pearson accounts. You’ll use these later to register for the North Carolina State Board of Education licensure exam and your specific content area test.

Due to temporary COVID-19 regulations in place until 6/30/21, candidates are NOT required to pass exams prior to hire for the 2020-2021 academic year only.

That being said, please keep in mind that test preparation is an essential component to helping you prepare for the classroom. We encourage you to register and secure your testing date as soon as possible, as many testing centers have limited availability and are operating at reduced capacity. Even if you are not yet prepared to take your test, it’s a good idea to register for it now.
