Career Education Courses for Missouri State Teacher Certification
The following credit courses are designed for Career and Technical Educators at either the adult or secondary levels. The instructors that participate will build upon their present knowledge in the areas of student supervision, assessment, curriculum, and teaching. These courses are needed in the certification process for most career education instructors. If you are not in need of the courses for Missouri State Teacher certification, you may consider one or more to add to your teaching 'tool box.' The courses would also serve as a mode for your professional development hours while gaining knowledge and adding hours to move on a pay scale. Please check with your director and the state certification office for a final determination.

The Northwest MAP Regional Instructional Facilitators are expanding their efforts to include the writing of model units in science, in-depth Grade Level Expectation (GLE) work in math and communication arts, and a content series connecting the GLEs, Depth of Knowledge (DOK), curriculum and instruction in math, communication arts and science. Northwest supports theses MAP activities in these and other regions with graduate credit offerings. Through this avenue, teachers are able to reflect on what they have learned and define how they can best implement these learnings in their own classrooms and at their district. |
