Education license question - licence transfer

Hi,

I am looking for information about the states that have reciprocity with an Ohio teaching license. I particularly have to know if an Ohio teaching license can be transfered to Minnesota. I am graduating soon and need to figure out what steps I can take to obtain a teaching in Minnesota.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hey Holly,

I have taught in three different states up to now. From my experience, you need to contact the state DOE and find out from them. Then contact one of the state universities which are offering an education program and get the information again from them. I say you should do both because sometimes the representative at a university will know ways to get around the state requirements. It is always best to have two opinions anyway. The states I have taught in have honored a current teaching license from another state, but also required me to take a few other courses to meet their own requirements. So you should take that into account as well.

Best of luck!

What about transferable credits? And one more thing? The teaching license is not generally valuable?
