What you need

The official page does not list required documents. Check the official page before you apply, since a provider can ask for paperwork it does not publish.

How to apply

  1. 1Apply through your own state's linkIllinois, Michigan and New Mexico each have a separate application. Applying through the wrong one is the obvious way to lose time.
  2. 2Ask what is expected of you afterwardsProgrammes that pay for teacher training usually ask for a commitment to teach somewhere specific for a number of years. This page does not state the terms, so ask before accepting rather than after.
