Candidates interested in non-traditional special education certification can apply through one of our Partner Universities Boot Camp Programs!
School Districts now have the freedom to hire, train, and support the best teachers by providing their own District Boot Camp!!
You can submit your Boot Camp Initial District Application for the first year and continue each Boot Camp year by submitting the Boot Camp Renewal District Application.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you currently hold an Oklahoma Teacher Certification in any area, please contact the Office of Teacher Certification, to confirm if you are eligible to add Special Education mild/moderate or severe/profound test to your Oklahoma Teaching Certification without going through the Special Education Boot Camp Program. Additional questions can be directed to Carolyn Thomas.
