Excerpts appear below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Council on Teacher Quality, a D.C.-based nonprofit,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">found<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that as of 2015, the vast majority of states had fairly strict requirements for certifying teachers from other states: They are usually required to take a licensure test, meet some other requirement (such as a review of college or graduate school transcripts or syllabi), or both.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A handful of states, including Arizona and Florida, issue certifications to out-of-state teachers with relatively few requirements. One state, Delaware, grants reciprocity based solely on evidence that a teacher was effective in his or her past position.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification has<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">compiled<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> certification agreements between most states in the country. They are not reciprocity agreements but simply a collection of the (often obscure) requirements for moving teaching credentials from state to state.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of these rules seem reasonable in theory but in practice may serve as a strong deterrent to remaining in the profession. Many states, like New York, allow for easier reciprocity for teachers with three to five years\u2019 experience \u2014 but this requirement may restrict entry since people are often most mobile earliest in their career.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even when the process is not all that burdensome, it can be difficult to navigate, with state departments of education sometimes giving unclear or contradictory information. States have a dizzying array of certification types: initial, interim, emergency, professional, conditional, master, temporary, transitional, internship, supplementary. In many places, state websites are bewildering.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows that state borders can and do prevent teachers from switching schools across state lines.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> looked at the Washington-Oregon state line and found that \u201ceven among school districts near the state border, almost three times as many teachers make a within-state move of 75 or more miles than make any cross-state move.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The researchers note that this may be caused by licensure rules as well as the lack of pension portability and the benefits of maintaining seniority in the same state. The paper argues that such policies are harmful: \u201cBarriers to mobility might exacerbate teacher shortages and increase attrition from the profession.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surveys of teachers also appear to confirm that the obstacles are real. Some 41 percent of former teachers who would consider returning to the profession cited \u201cstate certification reciprocity\u201d as very or extremely important in their consideration, according to an<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">analysis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of federal data conducted by the Learning Policy Institute. That percentage is higher<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">than in 2005<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, when about 35 percent of teachers gave that as a reason.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016, a proposal, modeled after the Third Way report, was<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">introduced<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Congress to help unify processes across states, though the legislation hasn\u2019t gone anywhere yet. However, a provision was included in the Every Student Succeeds Act, the federal K-12 education law, allowing states to use federal money earmarked for increasing the ranks of high-quality teachers and principals to set up an interstate system of reciprocity of the sort envisioned by Third Way.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more, see:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001sS8q4w-EPOL6pkp9WGCV3ETKsArgXLUOxaXMl2hst6YjYTeMave7n8mps_oSx19OSDNPtrXwZj76VdZqmfY6nF0Fu5tbY47_rHpL2h21pRB3_64exOA0NS1a7RLKOLD--hAqA4SyYDNtsnmvtfiKDlNfSd50AW5HGmpMA-HGfOPhRYlJODTR4Ki1RJyey9QK3v7rg4x8SAG4MuDnTQoVzvQAuqQx0w1UNXVlZvXI4Ms7JI0Gg5KLNq_k_2aj-WKW33Ot6BC5wSmxDep7Ckky1cX7vzVtNhEDKFaxEZknnnm_XKY1_37xu3rgvqYv3ztChlSq1mkxcp_nbo5fzajsyceP9PZ-z_qAG8nHhlLSnX6QOjWxoBV3ief8uPkX8DDPOmwkfTc-UB9t2NAChk4eKG9CZj5ogbKYupBJVQHiOZPeT19IIGNplO2EtYxaqKyDX1MirkcDEFjO5potxl1nwZato8U3jt9E0_HhCtokKLzNI6T7v7NW7cvdc3auF3C8hhahc1RxEL-KIxzqk7BMzIZ92Tm-VBNEsO6Eo__djkU=&amp;c=GqTpDRhnV7PMAJxsRWPRwMeTXQalCZkAQ_P2B_SPrVW2Ti_x9o83Pg==&amp;ch=yVnrCPBR6-kr55Cx36LprhtyIK2JoOPcN3wPv0T8A8QXfggRhMdvCQ==\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.the74million.org\/article\/the-certification-maze-why-teachers-who-cross-state-lines-cant-find-their-way-back-to-the-classroom?utm_source=The+74+Million+Newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=ce47914368-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_02_16&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_077b986842-ce47914368-176107497<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teachers often can&#8217;t easily get a teaching job in a new state &#8211;
