Teacher Certification

One of the contingencies for employment in the El Paso Independent School District is holding a valid Texas teaching certificate.

If you are not certified and would like to be, you can visit the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for information on obtaining a teaching certificate. 

If you are fully certified in another state and would like to transfer your certificate to Texas, you can visit TEA for a review of credentials. Please allow TEA 1-2 months to complete this review.

Contact TEA at 512-936-8400 for complete information on certification.

If you need an out-of-country evaluation, please request one from the TEA approved companies below. Only evaluations from this list will be accepted. Please make sure you request an evaluation NOT a translation.
