Hawaii Preparation Programs

Hawaii-Based Programs:

A Hawai’i State Approved Teacher Education Program (SATEP) may implement policies to provide candidates with multiple ways to demonstrate proficiency in clinical experience prior to program completion and recommendation for licensure following one of the options below:

Disclaimer Regarding Out-of-State Teacher Education Programs:

An individual may be eligible for a Hawaiʻi license after completing an educator preparation program approved by another state/jurisdiction. This includes online and “alternative route” programs. It is the individual’s responsibility to seek confirmation in writing from the out-of-state preparation program and their state licensing agency that the program in which they enroll leads to a teaching license in the program’s home state. COVID Vaccination Requirements for HIDOE Teacher Candidates: The Hawaii Department of Education (HIDOE) has made the decision that COVID vaccinations are not required to be placed as a student teacher in a Hawaii Department of Education school.
