Reciprocity

by Robert Schubert

Dec 20, 2008

I cut and pasted the requirements for N.M teacher certification through reciprocity. I meet all the criteria except I haven't taken a teacher competency exam. Are there any circumstances under which I do not have to take a competency test to obtain NM teacher certification?

Option 2 – Reciprocity

Possess a bachelor’s and/or a master’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university; possess a current valid and standard certificate/license from another state/country; provide proof of having completed an approved teacher education program (if the program is not contained on a transcript, you must provide documented evidence of the program you completed); provide proof of passage of a teacher competency exam for that out-of-state/country certificate/license, and provide evidence of having satisfactorily taught under that out-of-state certificate/license from the school and/or supervisor where you taught.

cjode I applied and was fully licensed without taking any tests. I had taken tests in TX: the TECAT which was the first step to prove teacher competence in 1985, and the tests I had taken to get ELA/Reading cert. in TX But NM did not require any more tests from me and I am licensed here until 2016.

audrey oh man, I know I way late on this one, but I hope you've looked into getting granted a level 2. If you are on level one then in a few years they make you do this crazy dossier project to prove you are a good teacher (plus a huge fee). If you don't do it, your license expires and you can't teach.
