What is alternative teacher certification?
Alternative teacher certification is a flexible pathway that allows you to become a certified teacher without returning to school full-time, so you can start teaching and earn a salary while completing the required training.
This pathway can be especially valuable for career changers, recent graduates who didn’t major in education, paraprofessionals ready to lead their own classroom, coaches, and working adults looking for a more flexible route into teaching.

Emily Box
Junior High Dance Teacher, ToT Alum
"Teaching is the role of a lifetime because there’s a unique beauty in transforming others’ lives while they’re quietly transforming yours.... The most valuable part of this program is the fact that I was able to move at the pace I needed, which allowed me to be prepared for my first-year teaching by the given deadline of my district."
Tracee Barlow
Assistant Principal, Former SpEd Teacher, ToT Alum
“This program reinforced my belief that great teachers are developed, not born. Through Teachers of Tomorrow, I saw how passion and preparation turn a desire to teach into a thriving career. The program gave me the tools and confidence to step into the classroom ready to make a real impact.”
Isaac Fudge
High School Business Teacher, Football Coach, ToT Alum
"Teachers of Tomorrow prepared me to teach and have given me the ability to do something I love by becoming certified. The most valuable element, however, was my field supervisor Bob. He helped develop and prepare me immensely with his feedback and coaching when in my classroom."
