Career Changer
Kansas offers the restricted teaching license as an alternative path to begin teaching to individuals interested in changing careers. If you have a four-year degree in a subject area or degree with coursework equivalent to a Kansas institution’s approved program, you may qualify to begin your teaching career while obtaining the necessary teaching skills in an alternative teacher education program. For example, if you have a four-year degree in mathematics you may qualify to begin teaching math at the middle or high school level, while obtaining your teaching license.
