In Michigan, you earn endorsements on your certificate based on the subject area and grade levels you want to teach. All certificates must have at least one endorsement, and some endorsements cannot be earned alone (for example, special education endorsements require an endorsement in a general education subject area). Teachers with multiple endorsements are more marketable and more likely to find a job, as they can teach multiple subject areas. Work with your educator preparation provider to determine which endorsement areas are marketable in your area.
Do you already have a Michigan teaching certificate? Michigan also offers advanced options. Visit Michigan.gov/TeacherCert to learn more about additional endorsements and advanced programs.
