Advising for Students and Teachers
Our professional advisors work with undergraduate students seeking to become teachers, and graduated students returning to school to complete a Teacher Education program. This office also serves as a resource to currently licensed teachers, by providing help with licensure renewal questions; academic evaluations and official plans of study for adding new endorsements; and general information on graduate program offerings related to professional education.
Service to Public School Systems
The Teacher Education and Professional Licensure office provides assistance to public school systems by serving as a resource to teachers and principals on licensure issues, and by facilitating the hiring of individuals under alternative licensure options. This office assists by providing a review of academic credentials of non-licensed individuals who have applied for teaching positions to determine their eligibility for alternative licensure programs. The professional staff develop the required plan of study for all newly hired, non-licensed staff and submit licensure applications and related documents to the State Department of Education.
