What does lateral entry licensure mean?
Lateral entry licensure is North Carolina’s alternative route to teacher certification. As a lateral entry program, TEACH Charlotte accelerates the process of bringing new teachers to the classrooms that need them the most. Rather than completing a traditional teacher education program prior to entering the classroom, participants engage in a short but intensive summer training program and complete further academic requirements while they teach full time, earning a full time salary.
