Certification

Certified teachers

Start by filling out our application in the Apply Now section.  The application includes 2 personal statements which will be evaluated by our selection team. You will also need to upload a current resume in Word format. Once your application has been prescreened you will be notified via email on what steps to next.  Start requesting official copies from your university coursework, so they can be forwarded in a timely manner. 

Once you submit the documents and are in the New Teacher Pool, you will need to apply for a DC license.  For more information visit the Office of Academic Credentials & Standards website at http://www.k12.dc.us/dcsea/
