IMPORTANT: If you have held, or hold, a Maryland Educator Certificate and do not remember
your username in the former MSDE Educator Information System (EIS), please reach out to
certification@mcpsmd.org to request your TEACH demographic information. Utilizing your
established educator information will avoid creating a duplicate account, which does not connect you
to your actual MSDE records.
• Since you can update information as needed, we recommend that your primary email address be
your MCPS Outlook or Gmail email address.
• You will be able to add a secondary email address, which we recommend would be a personal
email address that you check regularly.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Please do not complete applications in TEACH, unless you have been directed to do so by a MCPS
Certification Unit staff member.
• When necessary, MCPS will provide explicit instructions on the TEACH application required for us
to process your Maryland certificate issuance, renewal, reinstatement, and changes.
• You will have education information, employment information, and official documents in your
TEACH account. Only documents added to your MSDE records after May 2022 will be viewable to
you. There are also new fields in TEACH which will only be updated when necessary. As a reminder,
MCPS adds all items necessary to ensure your Maryland certificate remains in good standing.
