Interstate Licensure & Certification
A teacher holding full certification in a state belonging to the Interstate Licensure and Certification agreement may be issued a certificate for a minimum of one year for full-time teaching in the other compact states. Final authority for issuing a teaching certificate rests with the individual states. Check with these Certification Offices to find "additional" requirements for full certification. An additional resource is the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification.
