ABCTE can help you change careers and become a teacher in Missouri. In May 2008, Missouri Governor Matt Blunt signed alternative teacher certification legislation approving ABCTE as a route to full teacher licensure. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) fully recognizes ABCTE certification for all school districts and charter schools in the state.
