American Board

The American Board can help you change careers and become a teacher in Mississippi. In July 2006 , the Mississippi Department of Education approved the American Board as a route to full teacher licensure. The Mississippi Department of Education fully recognizes American Board certification for all school districts and charter schools in the state.
