Teacher license reciprocity allows educators who hold a teaching license in one state to earn a license in another state, subject to meeting state-specific requirements. Reciprocity agreements allow states to work through variations in licensing systems to coordinate license transfers and fill vacant teaching positions with qualified candidates. Most states have policies in place to extend reciprocity for certain teachers, but few states provide full reciprocity for all fully licensed teachers from other states. Thirty states and the District of Columbia provide special licensure reciprocity for out-of-state teachers with advanced credentials, exempting these candidates from additional coursework or assessment requirements and oftentimes immediately granting them a standard or advanced license. This document lists each state, the state's policy on special reciprocity for out-of-state teachers with advanced credentials, and the source where the policy is located.
