Teacher Academies Support Alternative Licensure Pathways

Keene State College now offers two courses - Teaching and Learning I & II - designed to meet NH Pro-Ed requirements for new teachers working on Site-Based Licensing Plans (SLBPs), as well as paraprofessionals working toward licensure, or teachers looking to strengthen their foundational teaching skills.

These flexible online and/or hybrid courses have been accepted by the NH Education Department for use in SBLPs, and are delivered via a cohort model to educators in NH school districts. Districts can customize course delivery to fit their specific needs, and multiple districts can partner to create a shared cohort.

The teacher academy courses are a powerful new resource for growing skills, gaining licensure, and making a greater impact in New Hampshire schools. If your district is interested in offering these courses for new teachers and in support of SBLPs, contact Beth Buoro (lizabeth.buoro@keene.edu) or Steve Bigaj (sbigaj@keene.edu).
