Pursuant to the provisions of NRS 391.033, any conviction for a felony or for a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor crime involving moral turpitude is grounds for denial of an educator license. A background review will determine if a conviction appearing on an applicant's criminal history report is disqualifying or not.
If you already have a bachelor's degree but did not complete a teacher preparation program, Nevada offers programs that allow you to teach in a classroom while completing the required coursework and exams to earn your initial license.
These include being accepted by an approved ARL program, holding a bachelor's degree, passing the Praxis “Core Academic Skills for Educators” exam and having a major or minor in the subject area you seek to teach or passing the Praxis II “Content Area Test” that corresponds to the subject you intend to teach.
Intern programs offer the fastest path to a teaching career. Candidates can serve as a teacher of record and earn a salary after completing 120 hours of pre-service requirements—far less than other pathway types require.
Nonrefundable fees for licensure $200.00 – New Applications (or reapplying of previous/expired licenses). $170.00 – Renewals of current licenses and can be done up to nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the current license. $70.00 – Additional Endorsements for each endorsement added to the base license.

ABOUT NEA-SN NEA-SN invites all CCSD licensed staff to join this new union, the only teacher union recognized by the NEA in Southern Nevada. Being an educator isn't a job, it's a calling.
In a state where we have around 2,000 teacher vacancies a year, but just 600 teachers graduating from traditional programs, the additional 900 graduates from Nevada Forward will really make a difference in closing that gap. Retention is also key.
In addition to attractive salaries, educators in Nevada receive comprehensive benefits packages, including health insurance, retirement plans, and opportunities for professional development. Nevada also does not have a state income tax.
The National Education Association (NEA) is the largest labor union in the United States. It represents public school teachers and other support personnel, faculty and staffers at colleges and universities, retired educators, and college students preparing to become teachers.
