Bilingual Education Certification Pathways
Bilingual Education Certification Pathways
For a teacher to obtain a bilingual education certification, the teacher must first obtain a content/grade level Texas teaching certificate. Bilingual education certification requirements apply to all districts, open-enrollment charters, and districts of innovation.
An Alternative certification program is a type of educator preparation program (EPP) that is a post-baccalaureate option for teachers who did not complete a traditional undergraduate educator preparation program. Components of a typical alternative certification program for bilingual Spanish certification consist of the following:
? Requirements o 270 course clock-hours and o 30 hours of observation (up to 15 hours can be via video)
? Exams required to obtain Intern certification o Bilingual Target Language Proficiency Test (BTLPT), o Bilingual Supplemental, and o Core Subjects Early Childhood ? 6th grade
? Requirements for obtaining Probationary or Standard certification o Complete EPP obligations and receive EPP recommendation o Receive school district's recommendation o Pass Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities (PPR) exam or edTPA (Teacher Performance Assessment)
*If a teacher has an Intern, Probationary, or Standard bilingual education certificate, he or she is appropriately certified for the bilingual education program. Therefore, a bilingual education exception is not needed for this teacher/classroom.
When a teacher is in the process of obtaining an appropriate bilingual education certification, the district may obtain an Emergency Permit to provide the temporary certification.
Emergency Permits consist of the following:
? Rules o District's online request and district's $57 payment due at the time of submission o District's online request must be completed within 45 instructional days o Teacher must meet minimum requirements for the grade level and type of assignment and hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree o Valid for one school year and cannot be renewed o Submission of permits begin July 1st for the next school year
? Requirements o Certified educators at the grade level of assignment Six semester hours in bilingual education for targeted language or language proficiency test passed (such as the BTLPT or ACTFL-American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) Registered for the next available test(s) o Individuals not certified and enrolled in an approved teacher preparation program A certification plan is required from the candidate's program Cannot be combined with an intern or probationary certificate, if area is available through the candidate's program
*If a teacher has an Emergency Permit for bilingual education, he or she is appropriately certified for the bilingual education program. Therefore, a bilingual education exception is not needed for this teacher/classroom.
