The files included on this page are intended to provide CSTA members with easy-to-access information regarding computer science teacher
certification and endorsement requirements across the United States. Our hope is that access to this information will
assist current, pre-service, and potential teachers with information that will help them comply with state requirements,
or determine those requirements for states in which they may be seeking employment. CSTA believes that this information
is critical to CSTA members precisely because, in many states, it is nearly impossible for teachers to determine what the
requirements are and whom to contact if they have a question.
The data provided in these files represents a four-year effort to collect and update the teacher certification requirements for each state. The following
states either provided no or minimal information, but we have updated these files because the contact information for these states has changed:
Alabama, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, Vermont, Virginia and Wyoming.
If you are responsible for implementing and ensuring compliance with computer science teacher certification and endorsement requirements and wish to update
or include any additional information, please contact Chris Stephenson at
