The “Navigating Educator Certification” CTE 101 Training was a resounding success. This training addressed essential topics such as background requirements, testing assessments, verification of advanced degrees, and various alternative certification approaches. It acted as a guiding compass for school systems to meet submission requirements. A massive thank you to all who joined, and we can’t wait to see you at the next session!
