FACULTY CREDENTIALS 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 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. 8 REQUIREMENTS TO TEACH TRANSCRIBED CREDIT COURSE WORK Visit Requirements for Teaching Transcribed Credit on NWTC.edu website: Step 1 Create or Update a NWTC ID#/Username.
