Out of State Certification
The Rio Salado Teacher Certification Program is designed to meet the requirements for an Arizona Provisional teaching certificate. All out-of-state students are responsible for verifying that the state where they intend to teach will accept an Arizona teaching certificate and/or Rio Salado’s Teacher Certification Program toward an initial teaching certificate. Requirements for initial certification may be different from those required by licensed, experienced teachers. Reciprocity agreements may apply to experienced educators transferring a certificate, but may not apply to candidates seeking initial licensure.
Note: The Rio Salado Teacher Certification program will NOT meet initial teacher certification requirements in the following states, which require that teacher prep programs have NCATE certification and/or University level course work: Connecticut, Kentucky, New York, or Pennsylvania.
Specific requirements for teacher certifications and endorsements vary state to state. Please click on the state where you intend to teach to view its requirements.
