Adding an Endorsement to a Valid Teacher or Special Services Provider License

Educators seeking to add a second or subsequent endorsement area to their valid Colorado Teacher or Special Services Provider Licenses may do so by completing a state-approved program at an accepted, regionally accredited college or university and passing the associated content exam; by completing at least 24 hours of relevant college coursework (as determined by transcript review); or by passing the appropriate Colorado State Board of Education-approved content exam. Please see the chart below for specifics pertaining to each endorsement area. Additional information and worksheets (if required for application) for individual content areas can be found via the hyperlinks. Please note that these are not the applications. To apply, click the button at the bottom of the page.
