How do the requirements for a career and technical education (CTE) certificate and a regular classroom teaching certificate differ?
The difference is that CTE certificates place an emphasis on occupational experience and are designed for teachers in programs preparing high school students for specific occupations. To qualify for a CTE certificate, an individual must possess substantial, “hands-on,” occupational (non-school) work experience, as well as one course in vocational education. Regular classroom teaching certificates are based on an academic preparation and are designed for teachers instructing the general student population. To qualify, the applicant must complete a baccalaureate degree and a teacher preparation curriculum; occupational work experience is not required. Regular teaching certificates are available in agriculture, family & consumer sciences, business & marketing, and technology education.
