How do I get a teacher “CTE Certified?”
• Regardless of a person’s prior experiences or education, they must go through the required certification process!• Just like I would have to do to become an
attorney or a cosmetologist, etc.
• In some instances, adding a CTE certificate might not be necessary…teacher might be eligible to teach the CTE course with their current certificates. Refer to TAC §231.
• The process will be different for each individual and it would be best for the candidate to contact SBEC. Generally speaking:
• If a teacher already holds a valid Texas teaching certificate, he/she may test out of any of the CTE areas that do not require work experience.
• For Marketing, Health Science, and Trades and Industrial Education, there are other requirements that must be in place in order for certification to occur.
How do I get a teacher “CTE Certified?”
There are two general types of CTE certificates:•Certificates that require skill, work experience, and licensing in specific occupations•Certificates that do not require skill, work experience, and licensing in specific occupations

– Human Development and Family Studies 8-12– Hospitality, Nutrition and Food Science 8-12
• Technology Education 6-12
For initial certification • Bachelor’s degree• Approved educator preparation program• Pass the TExES PPR EC-12 #160 and the
appropriate content TExES or American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) test
For additional certification• Pass the appropriate content TExES or AAFCS test
For certificates that require skill, work experience, and licensing in specific occupations, the candidate must complete a Statement of Qualifications (“SOQ”)
•The SOQ details prior wage-earning work experience and must be approved by an educator preparation program.
Marketing 6-12
Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university
Two years of full-time wage-earning experience in a marketing occupation documented on SOQ
Initial certification requires: Completion of an approved EPP Teaching experience, student teaching, or internship
in the assignment Pass the TExES for PPR EC-12 #160 and Marketing
6-12 #175
Certification by exam possible with approved work experience on SOQ Pass the TExES Marketing 8-12 #175
Any individual that wishes to become certified in HS or TIE must complete a certification program, even if:
– Already a certified teacher and/or– Holds an advanced degree in subject area– For example:
• We have an MD interested in teaching. Does he have to go through a program? YES.
• Our science teacher also has a license as a healthcare professional. She has 15 years of teaching experience. Does she have to go through a program? YES.
• We know someone with a Masters in Criminal Justice who has been a Police Officer for 6 years. Does he have to go through a program? YES.
Trade and Industrial Education (TIE) 6-12
Outside Work Experience– No degree – 5 years within the last 8 years of full-time
wage-earning experience in an appropriate occupation– Degree - (Associate’s or Bachelor’s) – 3 years within the last
8 years of full-time wage-earning experience in an appropriate occupation
License, if one is standard for the occupation (Ex: cosmetology instructor, electrician, law enforcement, plumbing) National Occupational Competency Testing Institute
(NOCTI) test, if appropriate
Complete an approved educator preparation program

Recognition of creditable years of service
TAC §153.1022•(i) Credit for career and technology teachers. In accordance with TEC, §21.403, effective with the 1982-1983 school year, certified career and technology education teachers employed for at least 50% of the time in an approved career and technology position may count up to two years of work experience for salary increment purposes if the work experience was required for career and technology certification.
– (1) For purposes of this section, an emergency teaching permit shall be the equivalent of a teaching certificate.
– (2) Once credit for work experience has been granted, the credit shall be continued regardless of the position held. For personnel granted credit under this section whose employment is split between career and technology and non-career and technology positions, the years granted shall apply to both the career and technology and the non-career and technology positions.
TEC §21.403•(b) For each year of work experience required for certification in a career or technological field, up to a maximum of two years, a certified career or technology education teacher is entitled to salary step credit as if the work experience were teaching experience.
• If you have a question about who can teach what classes, look in “Chapter 231”• Assignment of Public School Personnel,
19 TAC §231.1(e).

Technology Applications vs. CTE• Technology Applications is the state enrichment
curriculum that addresses the recommendations in the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology.
• There are expectations for Tech Apps for beginning teachers as well as current educators.
• Technology Applications is not a CTE certificate. Tech App courses do NOT receive weighted funding. There are related CTE courses that are similar to Tech Apps classes.
Note: Effective Sept. 1, HB3573 allows Tech Apps certificate to teach Principles of A/V and Principles of IT. This is not yet reflected on Chapter 231.

NCLB Highly Qualified
• Any CTE teacher who:– is the teacher of record, and
– provides direct instruction in a CTE course that satisfies a core academic graduation requirement…
must meet the NCLB highly qualified teacher requirements.
CTE and HQTeachers assigned to teach the following courses must meet NCLB highly qualified requirements:
Business English Engineering Design and Problem Solving
Principles and Elements of Floral Design
Food Science
Mathematical Application in Ag, Food and Natural Resources
Forensic Science
Statistics and Risk Management Medical Microbiology
Advanced Quantitative Reasoning Pathophysiology
Advanced Animal Science Principles of Technology
Advanced Biotechnology Scientific Research and Design
Advanced Plant and Soil Science Anatomy and Physiology

HQ and NCLB
• Under HOUSE rules, subject-matter competency is the critical component for CTE teachers teaching math, science, fine arts, or speech. • According to the law, this can be
demonstrated three ways
• NCLB “highly qualified” requirements– Bachelor’s degree required and
– Full state certification through:• 24 semester credit hours with 12 hours of
upper division in subject
• Pass content exam
• or High, Objective, Uniform Standard of Evaluation (HOUSE) for experienced teachers
NCLB Highly Qualified
• Must meet both:1. At least one year of teaching experience in subject or a closely related subject
and
2. 24 points (at least 6 points in specific subject)• experience teaching subject
– max 12 points
• college coursework in subject – 1 semester credit hour = 1 point
• Continuing Professional Education (CPE)– 15 clock hours = 1 point
HOUSE/CASA
In addition…
• For teachers who will be teaching the new CTE courses for math or science graduation requirements, there is a required in-service training available this year on Project Share.
The language from 19 TAC §231.1(e) for each of these courses says “All teachers assigned to this course shall participate in Texas Education Agency (TEA)-approved training prior to teaching this course effective with the 2013-2014 school year. Teachers assigned to this course in the 2010-2011, 2011-2012, and/or 2012-2013 school year will have 12 months from the date the training is first offered to complete the TEA-approved training requirement.”
