2 Wayne County Transition to Teaching Policy Transition to Teaching adheres to WV Code 18A-3-1a and WVDE Policy authorizing alternative educational Programs. The Transition to Teaching Project is an alternative certification program that works with targeted West Virginia school districts to place and certify qualifying participants in the classroom. Early in the process, participants teaching in a critical shortage area and at the same time complete their individualized, online program. The program provides financial incentives and an extensive mentoring and support system for the duration of the program. NOTE: Transition to Teaching Program is based on availability of Title II Funds and must be approved annually by Wayne County Board of Education. Transition to Teaching (TtT) Process Guide: Eligibility: Individuals must meet the following criteria to qualify for application for the Wayne County Board of Education: Hold United States citizenship Earned at least a 2.5 overall GPA Praxis I All applicants must achieve passing scores or qualify for an exemption (exempt if applicant has Master s degree or advanced scores on ACT(American College Test) & SAT( Scholastic Aptitude Test), according to WV State code: Praxis I (WVBE-adopted pre-professional basic skills exam): Have test scores sent to WVDE (Tests 0710 Reading; 0720 Writing; & 0730 Mathematics). Praxis I may be waived if applicant has a master s degree from a regionally-accredited college or earned a score of 25 on the ACT prior to Nov 1989 or 26 beginning Nov Qualifying scores for Praxis I waiver for SAT are 1035 prior to April 1995 and 1125 beginning April All TtT candidates must pass or show documentation for exemption from the Praxis I exam. Send all documentation to Doug Cipoletti (contact information provided below). Hold a bachelor s degree (or higher) in a major other than education from a regionally accredited college or university.

Participants Must be willing to: Seek employment in one of the following TtT shortage areas which include: Math, Science and Special Education (grades 6-12). Wayne County will only consider the

3 areas that are at a shortage in our county. Selected participants of the Transition to Teaching Project will commit to at least two (2) years in that position. Complete the online program of study during the first year, provided by one of the partnering institutions of higher education (IHE), Marshall University or West Virginia University while employed full time in the school system. Pass West Virginia Board of Education (WVBE)-adopted Praxis exam. For specific test administration timelines & for a list of the WVBE-required Praxis exams which reflects specific content area and level, refer to Praxis II Specific subject area candidates (math, science, English, foreign language) must take Praxis II content exam(s) early in the application process. Special education content exam is taken near the end of first year. Praxis II for Principles of Learning & Teaching exam Praxis II (PLT) is taken by all candidates near the end of first year after online coursework preparation. Note: Before submitting an application for Transition to Teaching, carefully examine the eligibility and participation requirements of the TtT program and evaluate your interest and commitment levels. Contact the Project Director (Doug Cipoletti) if you have any unanswered questions and for help with determining your teaching path or content endorsement(s) for special education candidates. Once your teaching path is determined, check the county website often for job postings. Please be advised that establishing eligibility and submitting an application is only a part of the TtT selection process. Once eligibility is established, the next steps are: 1. Determine Teaching Path: Communicate with the Project Director (Doug Cipoletti) about your teaching path. Transcript(s) will be reviewed for targeted subject-area content (how many courses, type, level, course compatibility/equivalency, etc). 2. Research Job Openings in Wayne County: Crucial to your being selected is your continuous exploration of job postings in your teaching path in the TtT-qualifying schools. For advice about job openings, contact Director of Personnel, Dinah Ledbetter ( ext. 333), or Director of Federal Programs, Mary Lou Perry ( ext. 363). Securing a job in the school system is the final step before full admittance/selection into the Transition to Teaching Program and access to program benefits.
