Teacher Eligibility
All Hartford Public School teachers must be licensed by the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE).
There are two pathways to eligibility for educator certification in Connecticut:
eligibility based on program preparation or
eligibility based on teaching experience.
Please visit the Connecticut State Department of Education website (http://www.ctcert.org) to learn more about each type and which certificate you should pursue based on where you are in your career.
If you are certified in another state or country and are eligible to work in the United States, we encourage you to consider opportunities in the Hartford Public Schools.
The CSDE (http://www.ctcert.org) is the best source for information on how to obtain Connecticut state teaching licensure.
