TeacherReady

TeacherReady

CSU-Global is partnered with TeacherReady (http://www.teacherready.org/), an accredited online alternative licensure program, so you can earn your K-12 teacher license while you earn your master’s degree from CSU-Global. While most of our students in the TeacherReady program choose to earn their M.S. in Teaching and Learning, you can combine TeacherReady with any CSU-Global master’s degree program. TeacherReady replaces the specialization requirement for your master’s degree, so be sure to obtain a transcript from TeacherReady after completing their courses.

TeacherReady is part of the University of West Florida’s Professional Education Unit and is accredited by the National Council on the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). After completing your courses and any required testing, you will have a teaching license from the State of Florida (which may need to be transferred to the state where you live). In your online courses through TeacherReady, you’ll learn the latest teaching techniques and theory. The program will also place you with a mentor teacher in your area who will guide you through field experiences and classroom teaching. You’ll be able to integrate the knowledge you gain from online courses with direct experience teaching K-12 students.
