Virginia’s licensure regulations, with their emphasis on content knowledge, require new teachers to far exceed the federal highly qualified standard. More than three dozen public and private colleges and universities throughout Virginia provide programs of study for aspiring educators and continuing education opportunities for veteran teachers.
Virginia provides multiple routes to licensure, including college and university programs approved by the Board of Education, reciprocity for educators licensed by other states and alternative routes for qualified candidates and career switchers.
