Qualifications , Orientation and Training
NWTC K-12 Relations and NWTC Human Resource staff collaborate to align transcripted credit instructors with the preferred level and credentials as recommended for our full-time faculty . In 2016 , NWTC updated the credentials for dual credit instructors and works to provide professional development , mentorship , quality assurance and other support mechanisms for instructors that do not meet the preferred credential qualification .
Requirements for Teaching Transcipted Credit
We are excited that you would like to teach Transcribed Credit Courses for NWTC . Courses are delivered at the high school , duplicating NWTC competencies , curriculum , assessments and resources . Students can earn dual credit at the secondary and post-secondary levels , but must earn a “ C ” or better for the transcripted course to become part of the student ’ s official college record . High school instructors are trained and mentored by NWTC faculty . Transcripted credit agreements are transferable to other Wisconsin technical colleges and may transfer to four-year universities .
Long-Term Substitute Instructors of Dual Credit Courses
In cases of long-term substitute teaching for dual credit courses , the substitute must meet the same qualifications as the originating high school instructor . This includes a current DPI license in the appropriate area , other required coursework or credentials , as well as meeting with NWTC faculty and K-12 staff to ensure that approval has been granted . NWTC would define long-term substitution as any time longer than a two week consecutive time period .
