Teacher Credential Files

- Through the paper file system maintained by the Life/Work Center.
- Online through a private company named Interfolio (click on this link to visit the company's website). Existing files can be converted from the Life/Work Center system to the online system by making a written request to the Life/Work Center.
Click on Establishing Your Teacher Credential File (Word format) for further information and instructions on using either system.
