Pursue these links for additional details.
Candidates for the Undergraduate Programs receive an individualized program of study that lists the education and content (teaching area) courses that are required for licensure area. In some cases, candidates have already completed a relevant degree in their future teaching area and will have few, if any, content courses to take. In other cases, candidates will have a number of content courses to take in additional to their education courses. The program of study is developed after the licensure program advisor reviews the candidate’s academic and professional background.
In most cases, Mrs. Deb Ackerman, the Teachers Academy Alternative Licensure Advisor, meets with candidates to give them information about their programs. Departmental advisors are consulted as well.
Undergraduate Program NC TEACHers who do not already hold a lateral entry teaching job apply for a teaching position before or during their licensure program. In some cases, candidates student teach in place of working as a lateral entry teacher. Candidates may visit www.teach4NC.org for more information about teaching positions.
Candidates apply for North Carolina Standard Professional I teaching licensure after
• completing their program of study, which includes a teaching portfolio,
• receiving passing scores on the PRAXIS II teaching examination in the teaching field, and
• successfully completing at least one year of lateral entry teaching or one semester of student teaching in the licensure field.
