Every state requires public school teachers to meet a set of education standards, which vary from state to state. After you complete these requirements you are issued a license or certificate verifying your eligibility to be hired by school districts in that state. You should check with the individual state’s Department of Education/Office of Public Instruction. Troops-to-Teachers assistance offices can help you determine requirements in the states they represent. 12.
