To what extent do LEAs usually go to assist a teacher get licensed? Do they offer tuition reimbursement for all courses, some courses, or are CTE teachers on their own?
Tyrrell County Schools has a Tuition Assistance Plan. In the plan we describe the levels of support that we provide for professional and paraprofessionals. Right now CTE Teachers are the only ones that we hire who are not already certified. For the most part we pay for courses.
Cheryl Hepburn: What are the general licensure requirements for new lateral entry CTE teachers? Are all required to obtain 6 credit hours in their first year of teaching, thus working towards a minimum of 18 credit hours, plus successful Praxis/certification classes at the end of 3 years? What happens if a ILT1/BT1 does not receive an offer/letter of intent to hire for the 2nd year before the end of the school year? For example, May/June of 2009, MANY ILT1/BT1 teachers in GCS did not receive renewal/provisional contracts due to the uncertainty of Budget. Many teachers did not find out they would be renewed until teacher workdays in August and some accepted other offers immediately before and during those workdays, leaving a vacancy for the school. Many of the teachers do not want to pay for courses they only need to teach, that will not benefit them in their "other" career if they are basically, not guaranteed a position for the coming year. Is this addressed in any Licensure organization? Just curious...
Chandra Darr: Question: If a CTE certified teacher wishes to teach courses in another CTE program area, what must they do to add that program area certification? Can they just take the Praxis?

1. Are there any major changes in CTE licensure requirements coming in the near future? 2. When questions about licensure arise, who is our best initial contact - DPI Licensure or someone in CTE at DPI?
