Relocation can be complicated for everyone, but if you’re a teacher transferring from another school district or another state to the Triangle area, there are a few more things to keep in mind. Here’s what you need to know if you’re a teacher relocating to the Triangle area.
Your Licensing May Need an Update
Before relocating to a new state, look up the licensing requirements of that state. It may also be helpful to talk to a representative from the Department of Education to determine exactly what updates your current license will need. If you’re a National Board Certified teacher, the process will likely be a lot easier.
Triangle Tip: Wake County Public Schools, the main school district of the Triangle area, has over 1,400 board-certified teachers.
