Understanding Teacher Certification Processes Across States

Teacher certification varies by state, with specific policies and requirements for obtaining and maintaining certification. When relocating to a new state, teachers must secure a new certificate, often aligned with their major. South Dakota offers broad certification scopes, while many states have more narrow focuses. Requirements may include submitting Praxis I scores, completing state-specific courses, or acquiring endorsements. Additionally, a provisional certificate may be issued to address deficiencies. For guidance on certification in South Dakota and neighboring states, visit the respective official education websites.
