What are Teacher Education Conversion Programs?
NHTI has developed three programs, approved by the NH State Board of Education, to help to meet the critical shortage of teachers in our state:
- The Teacher Education Conversion Programs (TECP) are designed to attract career changers into Mathematics or Science Teaching.
- The General Special Education Conversion Program is designed for candidates who already hold a teaching certification and are interested in adding a general special education endorsement or for those candidates with a bachelor's degree who hold an alternative IV statement of eligibility and are working in a school.
- The ESOL Conversion Program is designed for candidates who already hold a teaching certification and are interested in adding ESOL K-12 certification or those without teaching certification, who hold a baccalaureate degree, and are interested in ESOL as an initial certification.
Admission Requirements for All Programs
- These are not degree programs; candidates must hold a Baccalaureate and/or Master's Degree.
- Candidates must complete and submit a TECP application (Download and Print PDF), a $20.00 application fee, official transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate programs attended, current resume, and two letters of recommendation (Download and Print PDF).
