教育提供者

教师

教育部重申其承诺，将为每间教室聘用高素质持证教师。这一努力符合教育部战略计划的优先事项二：为所有学校配备高素质教育工作者队伍。

In order to teach in Hawaiʻi’s public schools, you will need to hold a Hawaiʻi teaching license or permit. In some states, a license is known as your teaching credential or teacher certification. To obtain your no-cost Hawaiʻi teaching license or permit, you must complete the requirements laid out by the state’s Hawaiʻi Teacher Standards Board.

准备课程

Programs that prepare teachers – including counselor and librarian candidates – or other practicing professionals, must obtain an affiliation agreement with the Hawaiʻi State Department of Education in order to place candidates in our public schools under the direct supervision of a mentor. The Department maintains a list of programs with affiliation agreements.

Important: The affiliation agreement does not guarantee that candidates completing an educator program will be approved for a Hawaiʻi teacher, school counselor or school librarian license. Questions regarding whether a program meets requirements for a Hawaiʻi license – including out-of-state, online and “alternative route” programs – should be directed to the Hawaiʻi Teacher Standards Board.
