Arizona is the Latest State to Approve Klassroom's Online Teacher Preparation Program Aimed at Solving the Teacher Shortage

PHOENIX, AZ, March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) recently  approved Klassroom's Teacher Certification Program (TCP). Recognized by the national accrediting body, Association for Advancing Quality in Education Preparation (AAQEP), TCP offers an alternative pathway to becoming a teacher that removes many of the barriers posed by traditional certifications.

Created by Klassroom, the domestic brand to international education company, Teach Away, TCP is an online, affordable, fast-paced option for graduates with a Bachelor's degree eager to earn their teaching certification.

Committed to solving the global teacher shortage crisis through a unique approach to teacher certification and recruitment, Klassroom currently provides certification for teachers in Hawai'i, and is proud to expand its reach to the State of Arizona.

"We're thrilled to continue to expand opportunities to certify passionate teachers in the states that need them the most," says Dave Frey, CEO, Klassroom.

Klassroom's breakthrough certification program was developed by a team of education experts with the vision of a world where every student experiences the power of a great teacher. Its innovative online learning platform was designed to help fill teacher shortages throughout the United States by helping aspiring teachers get into the classroom at an accelerated pace. 

Klassroom's Teacher Certification Program will certify and help place qualified professionals in schools across Arizona, which are currently facing severe teacher shortages that are directly impacting student learning and achievement.

In an effort to make certification fast, convenient and accessible for everyone, TCP's core curriculum is self-paced and delivered 100% online with asynchronous lessons and support from an online instructor. Following core coursework, the practicum component will provide an immersive opportunity for teachers and take place in Arizona classrooms. TCP can be completed in as little as nine months and at a fraction of the cost of traditional on-campus programs, with payment options available to help offset financial barriers.
