Teacher Licensure

Licensure provides the professional and public assurance that educators have met state teaching standards and have demonstrated their readiness to teach and improve student learning.

All persons entering the teaching profession must have had enough opportunities to witness, implement, and reflect on quality teaching and learning and demonstrate classroom readiness by successfully completing a pre-service, classroom-based performance assessment prior to receiving full state licensure. 

Find all the information you need on teacher licensure from the NEA here. 

The NEA-New Mexico is a state affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA), the nation's largest professional employee organization. NEA has affiliate organizations in every state and in more than 14,000 communities across the United States.
