I completed a certification program but never became licensed. What should I do?
List the certification program and briefly explain why you are not currently licensed.
I worked in a school, but I wasn't a teacher. Should I report that experience?
Yes. Please include any position where you were employed by a Pre-K-12 school, even if you were not the classroom teacher. Examples may include paraprofessional, instructional aide, or administrator roles.
What is a teacher certification program?
A teacher certification program is any program designed to help you earn a teaching license or credential. This may include university-based education programs, alternative certification programs, residency programs, or other state-approved pathways to licensure.
I hold a substitute teaching license/emergency license/provisional license. Should I list these licenses?
No. You only need to list any teaching licenses or credentials that authorize you to serve as a classroom teacher. You do not need to list substitute permits or short-term emergency credentials.
I am currently an education major. Should I mark "Yes" in the Educator History section?
Only if your program had the potential to lead to teacher certification or licensure. If you did not complete the licensure portion of your program, please explain why.
