The Hawaii State Department of Education is committed
to hiring highly qualified teachers in every classroom. With the
exception of designated Career and Technology Education (CTE)
positions, the minimum qualification to apply for a teacher,
librarian or counselor position is a Bachelor's Degree. If you are
hired without completing a Teacher's Education Program, you have a
maximum of 3 years to obtain a valid Hawaii teaching license.
Within each year of employment, you must satisfactorily demonstrate
active pursuit towards meeting Hawaii licensing requirements, as
set forth by the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board (HTSB). It is your
responsibility to ensure the program you have enrolled is aligned
with the teaching line you are hired in. Upon hire you will need to
have a valid Hawaii teaching license or Emergency Hire Permit. You
may apply for your Hawaii teaching license on the Hawaii Teacher
Standards Board Website (). Please visit to review the eligibility
requirements for all bonuses, differentials, and initial salary
