Teacher Certification:
1) Wyoming Teacher Certified If you are Wyoming teacher certified and licensed in the area you are teaching in, you are set (I.E. You have a current Wyoming K-6 teaching certificate and want to teach any grade in this K-6 band).

2) Teacher Certified in another state If you have a B.A. and are teacher certified in another state by an accredited institution, then you have reciprocity in Wyoming. You will need to turn in an Initial Standard License application, college transcripts, teaching license from that state, and an Institutional Recommendation from the college you graduated from (if possible). In addition, the application cost is $225 plus $50 for fingerprints. You will need to pass a Constitution/Wyoming Constitution quiz, and elementary teachers need to pass the Praxis II multiple subjects test (middle/high must pass their content test). This license from a different state will transfer to Wyoming under the same credential. Contact Wyoming PTSB to verify this and get any details. (307) 777-7291.

3) You have a B.A. from an accredited institution but are not teacher certified If a candidate has a 4-year B.A. from an accredited institution (in anything), but needs to be certified in Wyoming, then he/she applies for a 3-yr. Authorization Exception with the Wyoming Professional Teaching Standards Board.
Here the candidate signs up for “Teacher Ready” or “Teach Now” and has up to 3 years to complete this program. The “Teacher Ready” or “Teach Now” path is set up to be a 9-12 month program costing the candidate about $6,500 total to become Wyoming teacher certified. During this time, the candidate can be teaching while on the 3-yr. Authorization Exception. The candidate then applies for the Wyoming Teaching certificate and completes this requirement. WCA may look at sharing some of this $6,500 cost in some situations. In addition, there may be Long Term Substitute options, so we encourage you to apply. Contact Wyoming PTSB to verify this and get any details. (307) 777-7291.

All applicants must pass a fingerprint and criminal background check. We welcome you to apply! If you have any questions, please call WCA at (307) 251-3101.
