I am currently employed under a teaching contract, but my duties do not include working with students in my own classroom. Can I enter a professional certificate program?
The professional certificate program requires you to show a positive impact on student performance; many of the program activities may be difficult or impossible if you do not have regular access to and responsibility for students in the classroom. However, the university/college program and/or your professional growth team may be in the best position to judge whether the certificate is feasible for you at this time. This might be a good topic to address during the preassessment seminar.
