Certificate in Teaching and Learning
Let us help you thrive in your first years in the classroom.
Schools are faced with a teacher shortage of crisis proportions, and you’ve chosen to be part of the solution. Becoming a teacher while working in a classroom is a challenging process, but we know it can be inspiring as well. As a non-traditional or alternative licensure candidate, you hold an undergraduate degree, but you want more support as you fulfill the requirements of your school-based licensure program. We’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.
This degree is offered by Antioch University’s New England Campus.
Program Overview
The Certificate in Teaching and Learning is specially designed for teachers who are pursuing or have completed alternative licensure and/or who wish to deepen their skills as practitioners after having completed an alternative licensure process. Specific coursework will be determined based upon student needs as defined by the site-based or alternative licensure process, student reflection, and advisor and school mentor guidance. Students may transfer in up to 8 credits with advisor approval.
