Educator Licensure

Welcome to the Educator Licensure website. We are very excited to provide this resource to you, and look forward to it providing you a clear answer to the question: What do I have to do to become a licensed educator (e.g., a teacher, specialist, support personnel, or administrator) in Massachusetts or in another state? We have tried to address this question broadly enough so that the answers provided are responsive to both:

• queries from students currently in a licensure program here at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), and
• queries from persons not enrolled in a licensure program at HGSE.

Please feel encouraged to contact us regarding licensure-related questions not answered on this website, or for any additional clarification that you may require. To reach us to schedule a meeting to address or resolve any outstanding licensure questions, please view our contact information.

Again, welcome to the Educator Licensure website. We look forward to serving you!
