INDUSTRY CREDENTIALS FOR TEACHERS

SEEKING AN INITIAL VIRGINIA LICENSE WITH ENDORSEMENT(S) IN

AN AREA OF CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION

Guidance Document

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Industry credentials that are eligible for teachers seeking an initial teaching license with

endorsements in the area of career and technical education (CTE) are derived from the Virginia

Board of Education-approved list of industry certifications, occupational competency

assessments, and state licenses for high school students. For test validity and security reasons,

not all issuing organizations allow teachers to take the student examinations.

In Virginia, industry credentials are defined as:

State-issued professional license, required for entry into a specific occupation as

determined by a Virginia state licensing agency (e.g., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN),

Emergency Medical Technician, Pharmacy Technician);

Full Industry Certification, from a recognized industry, trade, or professional association

validating essential skills of a particular occupation (A+ Certification Examinations,

Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA), Microsoft Office Specialists (MOS)

Pathway industry certification, from a recognized industry, trade, or professional

association that validates essential skills of an industry. These certifications may consist

of a suite of examinations from entry level to full certification (e.g., CISCO Certified

Network Associate Examinations, A+ Certification Examinations, Automotive Service

Excellence); and

Occupational competency assessment, a national standardized assessment of

skills/knowledge in a specific career and/or technical area (e.g., SkillsUSA, NOCTI).

To meet the Board of Education criteria and utilize the industry credentialing for the purpose of

earning student-selected verified credit, the approved industry credentialing assessments must

meet the following criteria:

the test must be standardized and graded independently of the school or school division in

which the test is given;

the test must be knowledge-based;

the test must be administered on a multistate or international basis, or administered as

part of another state’s accountability assessment program;

to be counted in a specific academic area, the test must measure content that incorporates

or exceeds the Standards of Learning (SOL) content in the course for which verified

credit is given;

industry certification or licensure examinations that are approved to satisfy the

requirements for the Board of Education’s Career and Technical Education Seal or the

Board of Education’s Seal of Advanced Mathematics and Technology will satisfy

requirements for student-selected verified credits;

the teacher and/or the career and technical education program must be certified by the

issuing organization relative to the industry certification or license; and

a standard credit may not be verified more than once.

More than 400 state-issued professional licenses, industry certification examinations, and

occupational competency assessments have been approved by the Virginia Board of Education.

These certifications are reviewed and approved annually; credentials may be updated, added, or

removed if they are outdated and no longer meet the Board’s goals. Experienced CTE teachers

and industry panels are involved in the annual review process and provide recommendations that

are presented to the Board of Education for approval.

HOUSE BILL 2137 REQUIREMENT

The 2015 General Assembly passed House Bill 2137 that amends and re-enacts Section

§ 22.1-298.1 of the Code of Virginia regarding teachers seeking an initial license in an area of

career and technical education, effective July 1, 2015.

The 2015 legislation states, in part, the following (new language from HB 2137 in italics):

1.A. As used in this section:

"Industry certification credential" means an active career and technical education

credential that is earned by successfully completing a Board of Education-approved

industry certification examination, being issued a professional license in the

Commonwealth, or successfully completing an occupational competency examination.

D.6. Every teacher seeking an initial license in the Commonwealth with an

endorsement in the area of career and technical education shall have an industry

certification credential in the area in which the teacher seeks endorsement. If a teacher

seeking an initial license in the Commonwealth has not attained an industry certification

credential in the area in which the teacher seeks endorsement, the Board may, upon

request of the employing school division or educational agency, issue the teacher a

provisional license to allow time for the teacher to attain such credential.

Related legislation, House Bill 758, was first enacted in the 2014 General Assembly that

amended and re-enacted Section § 22.1-298.1 of the Code of Virginia regarding teachers seeking

initial licensing in the area of career and technical education, effective July 1, 2014.

The 2014 legislation stated, in part, the following:

1.A. As used in this section:

"Industry certification credential" means a career and technical education credential that

is earned by successfully completing a Board of Education-approved industry

certification examination, being issued a state professional license, or successfully

completing an occupational competency examination….

D.6. Every teacher seeking initial licensure with an endorsement in the area of career

and technical education shall have an industry certification credential in the area in

which the teacher seeks endorsement.

DIRECTIONS FOR SELECTING INDUSTRY CREDENTIALING ASSESSMENTS

There are eight broad career and technical education (CTE) areas: Agricultural Education;

Business and Information Technology; Family and Consumer Sciences Education; Health and

Medical Sciences Education; Marketing; Military Science; Technology Education; and Trade

and Industrial Education. Within each broad CTE area there are specific endorsement areas for

which teachers may apply for an initial Virginia teaching license (e.g., the endorsement areas

within Agricultural Education are: Horticulture; Agriculture Machinery Service; Landscaping

Technology; and Veterinary Aide).

Directions for obtaining information on the Board of Education-approved industry credentials

that are eligible for teachers who are seeking an initial Virginia teaching license with an

endorsement in an area of CTE are as follows:

Locate the yellow highlighted “broad” CTE area of interest in the chart.

Identify the CTE endorsement area for which you are submitting an application for an

initial teaching license to the Virginia Department Education, Division of Teacher

Education and Licensure. (Refer to the third column, CAREER AND TECHNICAL

EDUCATION (CTE) ENDORSEMENT AREAS.)

Click on the name of an industry credential that matches the appropriate CTE

endorsement area to obtain contact information and additional testing details. In many

instances, several credentialing assessments may be listed from which you may choose

one to complete.

Arrange to take the credentialing assessment as directed by the issuing organization or

testing provider.

SEEKING AN INITIAL LICENSE WITH ENDORSEMENT(S) IN


Q1. Do I have to meet the industry credential requirement for licensure if I already hold an active

Virginia teaching license with an endorsement in career and technical education, such as Marketing

Education?

A1. The requirement is for teachers applying for initial licensure in Virginia on or after July 1, 2014.

Since you have a Virginia teaching license that was issued before July 1, 2014, this licensure

requirement does not apply to you.

Q2. Is there an option for a teacher seeking an initial Virginia license with an endorsement in an area of

career and technical education who has not earned an industry credential in the area in which

he/she seeks endorsement but has been offered employment by a Virginia public school division?

A2. Yes, the employing Virginia school division may request the Board of Education to issue a

provisional (three-year nonrenewable) CTE teacher license. This provision will allow time for the

CTE teacher to earn a Board-approved industry credential in the area of endorsement.

Q3. Is the approved list for teachers seeking an initial license the same as the Board-approved list for

Virginia public high school students?

A3. No, the list of industry credentialing examinations for teachers seeking initial licensure with an

endorsement in an area of career and technical education is not the exact same list as that approved

for Virginia public high school students. For test validity and security reasons, not all issuing

organizations allow teachers to take the student examinations.

Q4. Where can I learn more about the industry credentialing examinations and where they are

administered?

A4. Information on all approved industry credentials for teachers seeking initial licensure with an

endorsement in an area of career and technical education is linked to the Virginia Department of

Education website. By clicking on each industry credential in the chart, you may obtain additional

testing information such as contacts for the issuing organization, examination cost, testing

methods—online or paper/pencil, number of test items, testing accommodations, pre-test

availability, and location(s) for taking the test.

Q5. How often is the list of industry credentials updated for teachers seeking initial licensure with an

endorsement in an area of CTE?

A5. The Virginia Department of Education updates the teacher-eligible list annually (late spring) after

the student list of industry, professional, trade association certification examinations and

occupational competency assessments has been reviewed and approved by the Virginia Board of

Education.

The update may consist of technical changes to the credential names, additions of new credentials,

and deletions of outdated credentials. Industry, professional, and trade association certifications

are continually being revised or discontinued to stay current with technology and new techniques.

These changes may be such that individual certifications are no longer available, no longer meet the

Board of Education’s criteria for diploma seals or student-selected verified credit, or require

additional criteria such as work experience beyond high school.

SEEKING AN INITIAL LICENSE WITH ENDORSEMENT(S) IN


Q6. How do I show proof of passing a Virginia Board of Education-approved industry credentialing

examination for initial licensure?

A6. Upon successful completion of the industry certification examination, a certificate or other written

documentation is provided by the issuing organization directly to the test taker. This certificate or

documentation must be included in the Application for Virginia License. Additional information to

assist teachers seeking initial licensure with an endorsement in the area of career and technical

education can be accessed in the most current Superintendent’s Memorandum.
