Educator Endorsements

Overview

The College and Career Awareness course is to be taught by a team of teachers with the appropriate license and endorsements. Each teacher is required to have the appropriate license and endorsements. This is a required middle school course for Grade 7 and/or Grade 8. College and Career Awareness also requires support and classroom interaction with a school counselor, and where available, a Work-Based Learning coordinator.

Note: Because College and Career Awareness is a core curriculum requirement, a teacher must have an Associate or Professional Elementary or Secondary Education License with the appropriate endorsement. A CTE License will not meet this requirement.

General CTE Endorsements: Grades 7-12

The following CTE endorsements qualify Secondary Education License teachers to be on the College and Career Awareness teacher team:

Agriculture (CTE/General)
Business and Marketing(CTE/General)
Family and Consumer Sciences Education (CTE/General)
Intro to Health Science or Medical Anatomy and Physiology
Technology and Engineering Education or Technology

A teacher with one of the above endorsements is then qualified to teach all or part of the course. It is recommended that collectively the College and Career Awareness team teachers have at least three of these endorsements.

Junior High/Middle School CTE 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.

For additional information, please contact the appropriate CTE state specialist.
