Montana Teacher Reciprocity Agreements

The state of Montana offers teachers from out-of-state two options for Montana teacher certification. The first option is the Standard Certification and will be issued to those with a Bachelor’s degree and verification of an out-of-state certification. The second option is the Professional Certification and is issued to individuals who hold a master’s degree and can provide verification of their teaching certification from out-of-state as well as proof of at least 3 years of teaching experience.

For more information about the process of certification in Montana, explore the Montana Office of Public Instruction website or call 406.444.3150.
