There are several classifications of standard teaching certificates currently in circulation in the state of Louisiana. Of notice to language educators are (1) the Professional Level 1, 2, and 3 certificates; (2) type C, B, and A certificates; and (3) Standard Certificates for Teachers in Nonpublic schools. The Professional certification structure has 3 tiers. Initial standard certificate is issued at Level 1 or Level 2. Level 1 is typically granted to candidates who are Louisiana graduates without teaching experience, or out-of-state, or foreign credentials holders. A Level 1 certificate is the entry-level professional certificate typically held during the first three years of the teaching career. A Level 2 Professional Certificate is valid for five years and is awarded to the candidates who have accrued three years of experience in area(s) of certification in an approved educational setting. A Level 3 certificate is awarded to candidates who have a masters’ degree from a regionally accredited institution. If the Level 3 certificate is an applicant’s first certificate, a state-approved teacher preparation program provider must submit the request. Letter certificate types (C, B, and A) are in the process of being phased out. Effective July 1, 2002, type C certificates are no longer issued for initial certification. Teachers who hold type B and type A lifetime certificates will continue to hold these certificates. A standard certificate with an asterisk (*) following the certificate type is issued to a teacher in a nonpublic school. The asterisk (*) refers to a statement printed at the bottom of the certificate: “If this teacher enters a public school system in Louisiana, he will be required to meet the standards of effectiveness pursuant to state law and Bulletin 130 for issuance of a Level 2 or Level 3 teaching certificate.” For additional information about certification, please, consult the Louisiana Department of Education.
