If you get a teaching degree in Kansas, is it transferable to another state?

It depends on each state. I completed my B.S. at Kansas State University and I am in the process of getting my Colorado license, no extra course work required. My husband is in the military and we’ll be moving a lot, so this is something I checked into.

The only thing I did have to do was take the PRAXIS II exam in Colorado, it seems that all states require that you take that particular test in their state. Otherwise, Kansas does a pretty good job of having high standards for their teachers. I’ve been talking to some of my fellow new faculty members and they didn’t have to do nearly the amount of work I had to do.

The Education Dept. of your school should also have a list of all of the DOEs and their contact information. A counselor or advisor should be able to help you out if you have further questions.

There is a website that might make this clearer. It is:

http://www.nasdtec.org/agreement.tpl

The NASDTEC interstate reciprocity agreement lists the states that offers reciprocity to each other…some states do not participate, but even some that do have additional testing requirements (e.g. I moved from Colorado to Vermont and had less than 3 years experience, so I had to take the PRAXIS I exams–Colorado only required the subject area PRAXIS II exam, Vermont requires both. If I had more than 3 years of experience, Vermont most probably would have accepted the testing I had done.) Hopefully that website will be helpful answering your questions, but when in doubt–contact the Department of Education for the state you are moving to and ask the question. Chances are they’ll have a quick answer for you. Good luck!

If you turn loose of the $2000 and spend the hours of study to get national certification, it doesn’t matter where you teach–you’re good to go anywhere. Some states might have you take an extra course to prepare for their perceived needs. Kansas requires courses in cultural diversity and special education accommodations that some other states don’t. Some school districts have even more requirements than the state does. Every state and district is free to set its own criteria. So, to answer your question, you’d have to find out from the state where you want to go what else they require. Kansas is actually pretty good about being on top of the game in teacher preparation.

You will have to see if Kansas and the new state have reprocity. One way you could find this is out is by contacting the Dept of Ed in the new state to ask. (For example, I received my teaching credential in Montana but moved to California to teach. I didn’t have to take the same tests that teachers in CA have to take because of the reprocity between the two states.)

Most often the degrees are transferable. If you want to go to school in one state and then teach in another, follow the teaching program & then in between your junior and senior get in touch with the other state’s department of public instruction. They can give you the info you need. Most of those I graduated with went back to teach in their home state. Only one had to take additional classes – history of that state. She was able to take it while teaching.

The National Board license only allows you to begin the process after three years of teaching. Even then, it’s not a definite thing that you be fully licensed in a new state.

Got to school where you want to and the rest will work itself out. Changing from one state to another is not that difficult. I would say that teaching history is the most difficult of positions to get usually, so you might want to reconsider your licensure area.

i’m an educator in Texas and that i ought to declare there are a ton of vacancies in preparation right here in Houston. yet, I do comprehend desiring a metamorphosis in environment and going someplace else. of direction try to be qualified in despite state you pick to artwork in. each and each state has there standards so you might meet so as to acquire a license. As in Texas, once you first start up coaching someplace else, they provides you with a probationary certification (often a 300 and sixty 5 days) to acquire a license. Being that we are halfway in the direction of the summer season, start up calling around to districts you will possibly be able to nicely have an interest in and spot what’s on the marketplace and what their technique is. yet save one element in recommendations, Texas is between the utmost paying states for instructors in the u . s . and a great number of of the places you have indexed are high priced to stay at.

Not to California it doesnt. California and I believe New York too have very high requirements for their teaching credentials. So you would have to take extra classes and pass extra tests to have it transfer completely. Most of them would be around cultural sensitivities and how you would address diversity, etc. California’s student population require teachers who are not ignorant about different languages and cultures and have plans for creating environments for acceptance in their classrooms.
