How to Get a Teaching Credential
There are a wide variety of teacher credential programs to meet a variety of schedule and financial needs. Here’s a summary of programs last updated June 2021. Enrollment in a credential program will teach participants key strategies for classroom management, lesson design, and learning theory. Even though we are more than happy to work with aspiring teachers to obtain an emergency permit, we highly encourage all our teachers to pursue a credential. Please see below for an overview of the three most common credential pathways.
