      Teacher Certification<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Teacher certification (licensure) is granted by the state education authority and may be recognized through reciprocity by other jurisdictions. Successful completion of all program components and awarding of the degree, plus qualifying scores on state-determined teacher licensure examinations lead to eligibility for state teacher certification by the District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education (<\/span>OSSE<\/span><\/a>). This certification is accepted by numerous other jurisdictions, sometimes with conditions or other requirements. I<\/span>t is the responsibility of the candidate to obtain up-to-date information on certification requirements in the states he or she wishes to teach.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      State Required Examinations<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2><\/span>\n

      The Praxis examinations, administered by the Educational Testing Service, are used by D.C. Public Schools as part of their teacher certification process. The Praxis CORE examination measures reading, writing, and computational skills vital to all teacher candidates. The Praxis II examinations measure prospective teachers\u2019 knowledge of the subjects they will teach, as well as how much they know about teaching that subject and are usually taken in the last semester of course work. Students are responsible for arranging to take these tests and have their scores reported to Trinity as well as appropriate certification agencies. Further information is available from ETS at\u00a0<\/span>www.ets.org<\/span><\/a>. Trinity\u2019s school code is\u00a0<\/span>RA5796<\/span><\/b>. See Trinity\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0Policy on State Required Examinations<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Students seeking teacher certification must pass the examinations required by the D.C. Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) and a\u00a0<\/span>nationally-based<\/span>\u00a0background check. For details concerning the Praxis II\/Principles of Learning and Teaching Examinations and other licensure requirements, see\u00a0<\/span>the OSSE website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
