How to Become a Teacher in New Mexico

New Mexico provides a mixed experience for anyone wondering, “how do I become a teacher in New Mexico?”. It ranks 29th in terms of teacher salary in the country, but that statistic doesn’t account for New Mexico’s low cost of living, which makes it possible to live on a teaching salary. New Mexico also has several low-income, under-served and depressed areas of the state, but does not offer teaching incentives for teachers to work there after finishing their certification programs. However, a new state education funding program promises the kind of support to schools and teaching in New Mexico that many have been hoping for.

How to become a teacher in New Mexico - traditional route for residents

The most traditional route to teacher certification in New Mexico is simply called the ‘approved route’. For aspiring teachers taking this route to becoming a teacher, it’s necessary to earn a bachelor’s degree in an approved program that includes a student teaching component. They then have to pass the New Mexico teacher assessments and the competency tests for their subject area.

How to become a teacher in NM - alternative route for residents

The alternative route for how to become a teacher in New Mexico is designed for those who have a bachelor’s degree in another area, a master’s degree that includes at least 12 hours in a certain subject area, or a doctorate in a subject area. If people with these qualifications wish to earn a teacher certificate in New Mexico, they have to pass the NMTA and the basic skills for teacher competency, in addition to completing an alternative program at an accredited New Mexico university. They can also complete OPAL—Online Portfolio Alternative Licensure.

How to become a teacher in NM - for out-of-state teacher applicants

New Mexico operates under a reciprocity paradigm, which means that it will certify teachers from other states as long as they can prove that:

They have earned a license from that state.
They have taught in a school in that state.
They have passed a teaching certification exam in that state.
They can provide a letter of recommendation from their administrator or supervisor.

How do I become a teacher in New Mexico - necessary exams for residents

New Mexico is one of the 26 states that require their own specific exam for teacher certification in New Mexico, rather than administering the national test, the Praxis. New Mexico’s test is called the NMATC, or New Mexico Assessment of Teacher Competency, and it is an indispensable part of how to become a teacher in NM.

What bachelors degree do I need for teaching in New Mexico?

New Mexico’s approved route to becoming a teacher includes a requirement that a future teacher earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree with classes in education and a student teaching component. No specific major is required, but the aspiring teacher has to be able to pass the certification exams and teach competently under supervision, something best accomplished after having taken an education curriculum.

What is a teacher preparation program in New Mexico?

A teacher preparation program is any means by which someone qualifies himself or herself for a teacher certification in New Mexico. This can be done through a bachelor’s program, a master’s program, or an alternative route or OPAL program, but always includes NMATC testing and student teaching or some other means of supervision of new teachers.

How do I renew my teacher certification in New Mexico?

The renewal process for teachers in New Mexico can now be done completely online. There is a simple 5-step process every New Mexico teacher can access with the use of his or her license number. Professional development hours are required if a teacher hopes to move up the levels of the 3-tiered licensing system.
