Certification

The Office of Certification is a part of the Department of Human Resources and is responsible for ensuring that certificated staff achieve and maintain professional certification including evaluating educator credentials, issuing initial certificates, renewing certificates, and adding area endorsements.  Certification staff serve as liaisons to the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) for certificated BCPS staff.  Our office also serves as your professional growth advisors and works collaboratively with the Department of Organizational Development and Leadership to offer various professional development opportunities for BCPS staff.

The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) released The Educator Application and Certification Hub (TEACH) in April 2022. All Maryland educators will have access to an online Dashboard where they may apply for certification, make payments, download their certificate, access various online services, and update their contact information. 

Existing certificate holders will need to complete a one-time registration by visiting TEACH at https://certificationhub.msde.maryland.gov. MSDE will be providing technical support for educators needing assistance during the registration process. Should you need assistance, please email [email protected].
Please see instructions on how to register in TEACH.

BCPS certificated staff are encouraged to join the Office of Certification Schoology group for information regarding certification, growth charts, salary lane advancement, and tuition reimbursement.
