New Mexico Teaching Certificate Programs

Below you’ll find a comprehensive listing of the Graduate Teaching Certificate programs available from schools in New Mexico. If you’re looking for initial teacher certification programs, check out either our list of Bachelors in Education Programs or New Mexico Alternative Certification Programs. Most of the programs down below are for people who are already teachers.

In 2003, the Associated Press noted that a little more than 36 percent of New Mexico’s populations spoke Spanish. For this reason, it is no wonder that bilingual/TESOL education and language arts both made the state’s U.S. Department of Education 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 teacher shortage list. Other high-need subject areas in New Mexico include elementary education, math, science and special education. An add-on certificate can help already-licensed teachers become qualified to teach in one of these in-demand areas. Completing an add-on certificate program may also help New Mexico teachers complete the state’s rigorous three-tiered licensure system, in which teachers and administrators work together to create individualized professional development plans.

Featured Schools in New Mexico

New Mexico State University offers an advanced certificate in Online Teaching and Learning intended for anyone who needs to offer instruction online. The 15-hour program can help New Mexico teachers learn to offer instruction in virtual environments. At Anaheim University, teachers who want to obtain a TESOL certification can do so using the institution’s online platform. Classes are offered year-round, so teachers can enroll at their own convenience. Finally, Drexel University, another online school, features programs in a number of New Mexico’s high-need areas, such as special education and mathematics. Because these programs are offered online, teachers can enroll in them at their own convenience and work at their own pace.
