How We Help You Get There
At US Global Teachers, we make the process simple and manageable. Here’s what we do for you:
- Degree Evaluation
- We ensure your degree matches U.S. standards through a recognized credential evaluation service.
- State Certification
- Each U.S. state has different teaching requirements. Some accept international certifications, but others need state-specific credentials. We guide you through this process, which may include submitting documents and passing exams.
- Preliminary Credential
- If you don’t have a U.S. teaching certification yet, you can start teaching with a Preliminary Credential.
- For example, in California, you may need to take tests like CBEST (basic teaching skills) and CSET (subject-specific exams).
- Background Check
- All teachers in the U.S. must pass a criminal background check, which involves fingerprinting.
- Job Applications and Interviews
- We help you apply for multiple teaching jobs to increase your chances. We also guide you through interviews and, if required, help you prepare for virtual teaching demonstrations.
- Job Offer Letter
- Once you succeed in the process, you’ll receive an offer letter with details about your role, salary, and location.
