Information referenced from Military.com

As America's children return to school this fall, thousands of classrooms will be without highly qualified teachers. To help meet the need for new teachers, the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence (ABCTE) is offering a $100 fee savings on Passport to Teaching, a program designed to attract more career-changers to the teaching profession. The Passport to Teaching program is ideal for military personnel and spouses who want to change careers and teach.

Passport to Teaching certification is affordable and flexible. You can prepare for certification on your own time and at your own pace from any location in the world, using preparation materials available from a variety of sources. Candidates for Passport to Teaching certification must hold a bachelor's degree, demonstrate mastery on examinations of subject area and professional teaching knowledge and pass a federal background check. No additional college courses are required to earn the Passport to Teaching certification.

Currently, Passport to Teaching Certification is available in elementary education, English, mathematics, general science, biology, special education, chemistry, physics and U.S. History.

The basic program fee is $600.
