New Pathways to Teaching in New Jersey - An Alternate Route to Teacher Certification
NPTNJ Information Session
Thinking of becoming a teacher? Already have a bachelor’s degree but lack teacher certification? Did you achieve a GPA of 2.75 or higher with your bachelor’s degree? If so, Salem Community College has the program designed with you in mind! New Pathways to Teaching in New Jersey is a statewide initiative in partnership with New Jersey City University and the New Jersey Department of Education. The program -- divided into two stages -- provides an alternate route to teacher certification to qualified candidates. An exciting and unique component of this year-long training is the opportunity to earn 15 graduate credits through NJCU! Employment as a teacher is not required for Stage I but will be required for Stage II. Stage I classes begin June 15, 2009 and run for 6 weeks.
SCC will hold an information session on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 from 7-9 pm in Room T111 of Tillis Hall.
