Maine Teacher Certification Info

No matter what subject you teach, there are a number of add-on certificates that can qualify you for new positions in Maine. These include positions like special education teacher, librarian, and technology education teacher. According to the Department of Education, all of these positions are currently in demand in Maine, and if you are a certified, experienced teacher, an add-on certificate in any of these areas could help you advance to a new and perhaps more fulfilling career. Possessing an add-on certificate in one of these areas may not only help you get a teaching job, but also will likely make it easier to switch jobs should you become more interested in a different field.

At the University of New England, teachers can earn the Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Leadership, Ethics & Change, and Literacy and Inclusion Education. The programs are specifically designed around Maine teaching standards. The University of Southern Maine offers advanced certificates intended to help Maine teachers change jobs. These include assistant principal, athletic administrator, counseling, English as a second language (ESL) and a number of special education certificates. At Saint Joseph's College Online, teachers who are interested in advancing to new positions can earn the requisite certificates from home. These include certificates in School Leadership, Catholic School Leadership and Interdisciplinary Studies.
