How did you come to be a CTE Teacher? 

We strongly encourage teachers to begin completing program requirements as soon as possible.  It is important to note that while the district has support systems to help you, it is your responsibility to ensure your teaching license is in good standing as a condition of your employment. 

See JCPS CTE Financial Support listed below this section for information on expenses that are eligible for reimbursement. 

Residency Route

This is a common licensure route for provisionally licensed teachers who hold a bachelor's degree, and it results in an unrestricted continuing teaching license. This route requires teachers to affiliate with an approved Educator Preparation Program (EPP). Teachers should refer to the program of study as prescribed by your Educator Preparation Program (EPP) and any additional requirements outlined in their licensure letter from NCDPI.  

While the CTE New Teacher Induction is typically not required, JCPS CTE will support your participation in one or more of the CTE New Teacher Induction modules as they align to your professional development plan and program goals. For example, many residency route teachers find it helpful to complete the CTSO module of the CTE New Teacher Induction. For more information review the information below:

CTE-Restricted Route

There are two program options that a provisionally licensed CTE teacher can select to convert their CTE-restricted license to a continuing CTE-restricted license . The Institute has proven to be a valuable experience for teachers.

This information is if you have chosen or are considering the CTE New Teacher Institute or CTE New Teacher Induction. You do not need both programs and once you begin one program you cannot switch to the other. 

Please be sure to refer to your NCDPI licensure letter for your license expiration date and program requirements as you typically have 3 years (or less) to clear your license depending on when you started teaching. For specific questions about individual licenses please reach out to the licensing staff in our Human Resources department- Letitia Lee.
