Does a Texas teaching certificate transfer to California?

Answer 1

I got this directly from the Texes State Board for Educator Certification:
An applicant who has been issued a standard certificate or credential from another state, territory of the United States , or Another Country may apply for a Texas certificate. The credential must be equivalent to a certificate issued by the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC), and must not have been revoked, suspended, or pending such action. SBEC will evaluate an expired credential provided it was standard at the time of issuance. A statement issued by another state department of education specifying eligibility for standard certification upon completion of certain employment or examination requirements will have the same standing as a standard certificate.

Teaching credential transfers are extremely difficult. A teacher from Oklahoma can transfer to California under a probationary status, and remains probationary while the teacher continues to take additional classes.

Answer 3

* Most likely, it will. It depends on what type of credential you have(level I or level II). You need to follow these steps:

* You will need to find out whether your current certification exempts you from having to pass the Illinois Basic Skills Test or the Illinois Content Test. You will be required to pass the Assessment of of Professional Teaching Test. * You will need to forward the following documents to the Illinois Division of Certification: * ** Official Transcripts ** Copies of both sides of your out-of-state teaching certificates ** Original letters verifying teaching experience indicating duration of experience, grade level/subject and be signed by a district administrator. ** Out-of-state certification authority verification form 73-99. Find form at www.isbe.net/certification ** Submit appropriate fees. You will be notified of other fees that must be paid, beyond application processing fees, upon receipt of your certification.

Answer 4

In some instances, but it will be issued as a preliminary credential which is good for five years. Then you will have to complete some other classes and/or training to receive a clear credential. The number of classes depends on the type of license you have in Texas and how recent it was issued. You have to show subject matter competency, take California History, Health for Educators, and ELD Instruction. See the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing http://www.ctc.ca.gov/ for more specific information. Any district that hires you will help you fulfill the requirements.

Answer 5

Most states have specific requirements that include history/govt of that particular state. Most states will issue a provisional or temporary license and grant you a limited time to complete either classes or tests that you are lacking in order to work in their state.

Answer 6

Yes, the teaching certificate will transfer between the two states. The certificate is not automatically transferable and you must follow the correction procedures to get it transferred.

Answer 7

If the State of Arizona approves of the educational institution issuing the credential, then your application for teaching will be carefully reviewed.
