NC TEACH Alternative Licensure Program

North Carolina Teachers of Excellence for All Children (NC TEACH) is designed to recruit, train, support, and retain mid-career professionals as they become licensed teachers in North Carolina. The program is designed to offer residency license teachers the opportunity to earn an initial standard professional I license to teach in North Carolina. The Collaborative for Educator Preparation (CEP) administers the NC TEACH Alternative Licensure Program in the following areas:

Elementary Education (K-6)
Middle Grades (6-9) Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies
Secondary (9-12) English, Latin, Math, Science, and Social Studies
K-12 English as a Second Language (ESL)
K-12 Foreign Language (French or Spanish)

Students in the program enroll in a sequence of education courses and engage in field-based experiences as residency license teachers in local public school systems. Students may be required to take additional course work in their teaching area for licensure. For most of these teaching areas, students may apply up to 18 credits of NC TEACH course work toward a master’s degree program provided they apply and are accepted.

For information regarding deadlines and requirements for admission, please see https://grs.uncg.edu/programs/.
