TeachNC
TeachNC is designed to inspire teaching candidates to pursue a profession in education and remove the barriers that stand in their way. This multi-pronged initiative features multimedia campaigns; an online, one-stop resource for information, and custom supports for candidates, like 1-on-1 coaching with active North Carolina teachers, access to financial aid, and the state’s first teacher jobs board.
Launched as a public-private partnership between BEST NC, the NC Department of Public Instruction, and TEACH.org in 2018, TeachNC was established as an recurring state-funded initiative in 2022.

Licensure
Help
In North Carolina, teachers earn a license to teach a specific set of grades and subjects. Whether you want to focus on a specific subject, like math, or a particular student population, like second-language learners, you’ll find a teaching area that fits.
Educator Prep Programs
To help candidates choose an educator preparation program (EPP) that will qualify them for licensure, TeachNC provides a database of vetted North Carolina EPPs, criteria to help candidates compare options, and advisors to provide 1-on-1 support.
1-on-1
Coaching
Becoming a teacher is a process that comes with a lot of questions. TeachNC coaches are licensed teachers who blazed their own trails to the classroom, and can help you determine the best path for where you’ve been and we’re you’re headed.
