Current Narrative:
The DDOE supports all teachers seeking to become certified as a career and technical education instructor. All CTE teachers are required to have knowledge of the content they teach and be highly skilled at using appropriate teaching strategies to meet the needs of various learners. This expectation demands that all students have equitable access to qualified teachers to meet challenging national and state content standards and academic achievement standards. The DDOE certification and license process supports this expectation through multiple opportunities for candidates to seek teaching certification which includes the Alternative Routes to Teacher Certification (ARTC) as well as opportunities to seek certification through Skills and Technical Sciences (STS) which is outlined in Title 14, Section 1559 of the Delaware Administrative Code (Appendix E).
