Will teachers meet december deadline for licence

A timely question!

In the United States, the deadline for teachers to obtain a teaching license or certification varies from state to state. Some states have a December deadline, while others have a different deadline or no deadline at all.

Here are a few examples of states with a December deadline:

  1. California: The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) requires teachers to complete their credentialing process by December 31st of each year.
  2. Florida: The Florida Department of Education requires teachers to obtain their Professional Education Certificate by December 31st of each year.
  3. New York: The New York State Education Department requires teachers to complete their Initial Certification by December 31st of each year.

However, it's essential to note that these deadlines may not apply to all teachers, and some states may have different requirements or deadlines. For example:

  1. Texas: Teachers in Texas do not have a specific deadline to obtain their teaching certification, but they must complete the certification process within a certain timeframe after completing their teacher preparation program.
  2. Illinois: Teachers in Illinois do not have a specific deadline to obtain their teaching license, but they must complete the licensure process within a certain timeframe after completing their teacher preparation program.

To confirm the deadline for teachers in your state, I recommend checking with your state's department of education or the relevant certification authority.
