Teacher Licensure INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of the Teacher Education Program at Winston-Salem State University is to prepare scholarly, thinking, competent teachers who are capable of developing independent thinkers and learners while maximizing the educational experiences of all children. The motto of the Winston-Salem State University Teacher Education Program reflects its primary goal and expected outcome: Recommendation for North Carolina Teacher Licensure It is the policy of the university that all students recommended for initial licensure comply with the regulations of the university for admission to teacher education, complete a teaching major, and meet the general and professional education requirements for teacher licensure, including three semester hours in an appropriate reading course. The licensing process verifies an individual's qualifications to perform specific professional services as a public school employee, and guarantees that educators in North Carolina meet standards of professional competence. North Carolina statues specify that all professional employees of public schools hold the appropriate license for the subject or grade level taught or for the professional assignment field.

A teacher seeking National Board certification must also complete written assessments which demonstrate subject-matter knowledge, as well as the teacher’s understanding of how to teach students.

This service must not be misconstrued as a license to teach or to perform other duties in a Christian school. The TCP simply provides a uniform procedure for appraising educational standards. These following titles are available: Preschool Teacher, Kindergarten Teacher, Elementary Teacher, Secondary Teacher, Special Education Teacher, Counselor, Library Science, and Administrator. Titles are available in the following categories: Provisional, Professional, and Advanced Professional.

"For every student in North Carolina, a knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate teacher... a star in every classroom" Mission The Mission of the North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards Commission is to ensure that every student in the North Carolina Public Schools will have a knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate teacher. In order to achieve this goal, the Commission will establish and maintain rigorous standards for all teaching professionals. Vision The NC Professional Teaching Standards Commission, speaking with the voice of classroom teachers and the professionals who support and prepare teachers, welcomes the responsibility for setting, monitoring, reviewing and revising standards for entering and continuing in the teaching profession. The Commission maintains realistic standards that are rigorous, equitable, flexible and dynamic. The Commission's standards are aligned with state, regional, and national standards for teaching. They mesh with standards for teacher preparation, professional development, and student achievement. In developing and establishing standards for the teaching profession, the Commission promotes communication and collaboration among all who have interest in teaching and learning in North Carolina. The purpose of setting high and rigorous standards for the teaching profession is to ensure that teachers have the skills, knowledge and experiences necessary to prepare youth to thrive in a complex, dynamic, global, multicultural society. Setting high standards for teachers is necessary but not sufficient to reach this goal. The Commission advocates for appropriate conditions in our schools and classrooms which will enable highly skilled teachers to educate every child.
