Faculty Qualifications

NWTC K-12 Relations and Talent and Culture staff collaborate to align transcripted credit instructors with the preferred level and credentials outlined by Higher Learning Commission ( HLC ) and college requirements . NWTC supports these high school instructors with professional development , a dedicated faculty mentor , and other support mechanisms to prepare for duplicative course delivery .
Requirements for Teaching Transcipted Credit
We are excited that you would like to teach Transcripted 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 credits are transferable to other Wisconsin technical colleges and may transfer to four-year universities .
Long-Term Substitute Teachers 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 teacher . 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 . The district is responsible for contacting NWTC K-12 Relations if this situation occurs .
