ºìÌÒÊÓƵ

ºìÌÒÊÓƵ recognizes and celebrates the 101 students who earned Pennsylvania teacher certification this year. Our Teacher Certification Pathways program is popular with working professionals who want to earn their teacher certification at their own pace while continuing to work. The program is flexible, adaptive, convenient, and affordable and is open to anyone with a bachelor ºìÌÒÊÓƵ ’s degree or higher. Financial help is available to those who qualify, and Pennsylvania teacher certification is accepted in most states.

The number of graduating students this year, the largest class in over a decade, is in part due to the COVID-19 lockdown. During this period, many people reconsidered their goals and ambitions in life, and many concluded they wanted to pursue a more fulfilling and stable career such as teaching. Those who completed their certification are grouped by their teaching specialties.

We congratulate all 101 new teachers!
