Endorsements: Grades 6-8

The endorsements listed below are available to assist educators in becoming qualified to teach CTE courses in grades 6-8 when a CTE-endorsed teacher is not available. These endorsements can only be given to teachers with an Associate/Professional Elementary Education or an Associate/Professional Secondary Education License.

Note: To teach College and Career Awareness (CCA), educators need to hold at least one qualifying endorsement from the list below. Each endorsement not only qualifies an educator to teach CCA but may also authorize instruction in additional CTE courses, depending on the endorsement’s scope. With endorsements varying in their coverage and requirements, educators are encouraged to review the specific details for each endorsement option to determine the best fit for their teaching goals and career pathway.
