Educator Licensure

The Office of Educator Licensure is a part of the Department of Staffing and Licensure and is responsible for ensuring that educators achieve and maintain professional MSDE licensure including evaluating educator credentials, issuing initial licenses, renewing licenses, and adding area endorsements.  Educator Licensure staff serve as liaisons to the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) for licensed BCPS staff.  Our office also serves as your professional growth advisors and works collaboratively with the Department of Employee Training and Development 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 licensure, make payments, download their license, access various online services, and update their contact information. 

Existing license holders will need to complete a one-time registration by visiting TEACH at https://certificationhub.msde.maryland.gov. MSDE will provide 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 licensed staff are encouraged to join the Office of Certification Schoology group for information regarding licensure, growth charts, salary lane advancement, and tuition reimbursement.
