Licensure Information
Each state board or department of education creates rules and policies that provide the specific details governing the profession, including licensing requirements in the state. Licensing requirements generally include specific degree and course work components, background checks and fingerprinting, field work experience, examinations, and fees. Some states also have state-specific courses or training required, so it is important to understand all of these licensing requirements for the state in which you intend to teach.
