Do charter school teachers need to have a license in order to teach?
No. Charter schools in Colorado are not required to employ teachers with current Colorado licenses. Check with each individual charter school for more information on that individual school’s requirements. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) does not require that a charter school teacher have a teaching license, but NCLB does require charter schools to comply with all other NCLB requirements regarding “Highly Qualified Teachers” by the 2005-06 school year. The NCLB requirements for Highly Qualified Teachers can be found at: http://www.ed.gov/nclb/methods/teachers/hqtflexibility.html and the state’s requirements are at: http://www.cde.state.co.us/FedPrograms/NCLB/tiia_hqt.asp.
