Arizona is the Latest State to Approve Klassroom's Online Teacher Preparation Program Aimed at Solving the Teacher Shortage

PHOENIX, AZ, March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) recently  approved Klassroom's Teacher Certification Program (TCP). Recognized by the national accrediting body, Association for Advancing Quality in Education Preparation (AAQEP), TCP offers an alternative pathway to becoming a teacher that removes many of the barriers posed by traditional certifications.

Created by Klassroom, the domestic brand to international education company, Teach Away, TCP is an online, affordable, fast-paced option for graduates with a Bachelor's degree eager to earn their teaching certification.

"We're thrilled to continue to expand opportunities to certify passionate teachers in the states that need them the most," says Dave Frey, CEO, Klassroom.

Klassroom's breakthrough certification program was developed by a team of education experts with the vision of a world where every student experiences the power of a great teacher. Its innovative online learning platform was designed to help fill teacher shortages throughout the United States by helping aspiring teachers get into the classroom at an accelerated pace.
