Preferred term

alternative licensure  

Definition

  • The alternative license or teaching certificate is a way for persons to earn a teaching credential without completing a traditional state-approved teacher licensure program. Each state has the responsibility to license teachers in that state, and every state, as well as the District of Columbia, has an alternative license program, although the requirements vary from state to state.
