Does a teacher who is certified to teach in another state need to take the Praxis test in order to obtain a Missouri certificate?
No. After August 28, 2003, a valid teaching certificate issued by another state will be recognized by Missouri. The application form requests the Praxis test score if it was required by the original certifying state. If available, that information should be included. Upon receipt of the application packet, processing fee, and background clearance, an appropriate Missouri certificate of license to teach will be issued. The application for certified teachers from another state is located on our website.
