WBL ENDORSEMENT AND LICENSE INFORMATION
I. Educator License
Endorsements to teach courses/programs
in work-based learning can attach to three educator
licenses.
1) Secondary Education License
2) Career and Technical Education (CTE) License
3) Career and Technical Education (CTE) - Alternative Preparation Program (APP)
License
The Secondary Education License is issued to individuals who complete a university teacher education preparation program. A teacher who qualifies for a secondary license may be endorsed to teach WBL courses/programs through demonstrated competency and/or meeting endorsement requirements.
A Career and Technical Education (CTE) License is awarded upon successful completion of the requirements identified in section III License Levels.
A Career and Technical Education - Alternative Preparation Program (CTE - APP) License may be issued to individuals who DO NOT have a Secondary Education License but qualify through a combination of post secondary courses/degrees and/or work experience related to work-based learning.
Individuals may qualify for a CTE - APP Level 1 License by meeting one of the following criteria:
1) Documented evidence of a related bachelor's
degree and two years of related work experience.
2) The combination of post secondary education and related work experience,
which total six years.
3) Documented evidence of six years of full-time related work experience.
II. CTE License Limitations
CTE Licenses are limited to teaching the course(s) / programs(s)
that align with the endorsement(s) granted. Only Career and Technical Education
endorsements can be attached to CTE Licenses. All other endorsements require
a Secondary Education License (e.g., health education, mathematics, science).
Teaching assignment(s) must match endorsement(s).
III. License Levels

levels for educator licenses. The characteristics and advancement requirements
for each level are listed below:
