项目概述
The 职业生涯 Switcher Program consists of two Phases:
第一阶段
第一阶段 (consisting of 150 hours), teaches our students how 教, and includes topics on the foundations of education, human growth and development, 课程, instruction and assessment, teaching with technology, 课堂管理, reading in the content area and more. In addition to this instruction, 职业生涯 Switchers will also be placed in participating schools systems to observe classes and 教 selected lessons (a 40 hour practicum field placement). This placement will begin approximately five weeks after beginning 第一阶段. Upon successful completion of 第一阶段, 十大正规博彩网站评级博彩平台推荐大学 issues 职业生涯 Switchers a 第一阶段 Certificate of Completion and submits the student’s credentials to the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) for review. This packet contains student’s original 职业生涯 Switcher application form, the fee for processing the application, documentation of 3 years full time work experience, 官方成绩单, a record of your passing scores in Praxis Subject Assessment and VCLA, and confirmation of your successful completion of 第一阶段 of the 职业生涯 Switcher program. Once the Department of Education has reviewed your packet, they issue a 职业生涯 Switcher Provisional License with endorsement(s) 教 in your subject area(s). The student’s first one year, 职业生涯 Switcher provisional teaching license is issued immediately. The 职业生涯 Switcher provisional license is valid for one year and may be renewed two additional times for one year terms each, 如果需要. The “renewal” or activation of the two remaining dormant licenses is done by the school division who hires you, 根据合同, 教.
二期
Once the 职业生涯 Switcher secures full time employment OR half-time employment with a public school division or a state-approved accredited private school in Virginia, the student enters 二期 of 职业生涯 Switchers. During this first year of teaching, 职业生涯 Switchers will work with a trained mentor teacher who will help improve skills and performance, 支持的士气, and work with the new teacher to put theory into practice. 职业生涯 Switchers are also required to meet again with 十大正规博彩网站评级博彩平台推荐大学 as a class for an additional 20 hours of professional development. These workshops provide an opportunity for the new teachers to discuss experiences in the classroom, update skills in 课程 and instruction, classroom and behavior management and human growth development. It is only upon successful completion of 二期 that 职业生涯 Switchers will have completed all of the requirements necessary to receive full-licensure 教 in Virginia. After 二期, students are eligible to receive a ten-year renewable license. The school system that employs the 职业生涯 Switcher will submit the recommendation for the ten-year renewable license. Failure to complete all the requirements in 二期 means students are not eligible to receive their ten-year renewable license.
Please note that the 职业生涯 Switcher Provisional license issued after completion of 第一阶段 is recognized only in Virginia. Once 二期 is completed and the Professional License is issued, there is reciprocity with most states.
