For teachers certified in ESOL, the state requires adherence to the NCATE/TESOL standards. For all teachers, in addition to NCATE standards.

This certification applies to teachers of students in grades preK-12. An individual may obtain initial certification in ESOL in one of the following ways: (1) completion of a Maryland Approved Program (Click here); or (2) completion of coursework requirements as defined through transcript analysis.
- An individual may add ESOL to an existing professional certificate in one of the following ways: (1) completion of course works requirements; or (2) obtaining a qualifying score on the content-specific test required for certification.
