U.S. K-12 world language teachers seeking credentials must satisfy several requirements. In 2014, researchers at CLASSRoad, a non-profit organization for educational technology and world language professional development, secured funding from STARTALK and the National Foreign Language Center to create a dynamic website displaying simplified state requirements for world language teacher certification. The LangCred team researched state requirements and procedures, then simplified the information and presented it in a searchable format on LangCred.org. 

LangCred users can make an account, search, save and even compare credential routes. New in 2016 is the much-anticipated feature to search, save and compare teacher programs. Over 900 programs are featured on the site. Comprehensive lists of Basic Skills, English Language Proficiency, and transcript evaluation requirements are now available. Such resources are especially informative for those seeking a degree evaluation, or those assisting international students with foreign degrees. Teachers of the less commonly taught languages can participate and learn from peers on the LangCred community forum.
