Teacher License Reciprocity
Has the state signed the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement?
June 2020
The National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) facilitates license reciprocity for member states that have signed the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement. The NASDTEC Interstate Agreement is a collection of individual agreements by member states pledging to “issue some form of authorization allowing an inbound certificate holder to legally teach or provide service in the receiving state, provided the license issued by the ‘sending’ state is acceptable under the agreement.” NASDTEC does not guarantee “full teacher license reciprocity” for member states but does help clarify which licenses will transfer and what additional requirements must be met. Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia have signed the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement. View the full 50-State Comparison: Teacher License Reciprocity here
