Resumen

The purpose of this article is to describe how teacher education candidates at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise (UVa-Wise) in the United States are trained and become eligible for professional teaching licenses in grades 6-12 in the Commonwealth of Virginia. First, the authors offer a brief overview of the College and the collaborative efforts between the UVa-Wise Department of Education and other academic disciplines. The authors identify specific program endorsement areas and grade levels in which UVa-Wise TEP candidates are awarded their degree. They summarize their respective curricula in endorsement areas that candidates are required to complete to become eligible for their professional licenses in their respective teaching endorsement areas. Topics of discussion include: 1.) Requirements that candidates must meet for admission into the UVa-Wise teacher education program; 2.) Professionals’ expectations regarding their admission and continuation in the UVa-Wise teacher education program; and 3.) Admission requirements to the student teaching internship required to complete the program. Additionally, they discuss the roles of the Virginia Department of Education and the Virginia Board of Education in the teaching endorsement approval process for all teacher education programs in Virginia. Finally, the process of how teacher education programs can become recognized by a national accrediting organization (more specifically, the Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education) is briefly examined.
