The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) will be releasing The Educator Application and Certification Hub (TEACH) in April! TEACH will replace the current certification portal, which will be shutting down on April 20, 2022. TEACH is expected to be released on April 26, 2022.
All Maryland educators will have access to an online Dashboard where they may apply for certification, make payments, download their certificate, access various online services, and update their contact information. With the release of TEACH, all certification applications will be submitted online!
Applicants and certificate holders will not be able to access their online portal accounts while the system is down from April 20th through April 26th. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Existing applicants and certificate holders will need to complete a one-time registration by visiting TEACH after April 26, 2022.
