Steps for Entry
Each class requires clinical components. Lateral Entry teachers do this in their own classroom/school. Career Switchers will need to be available a few hours each semester to visit public schools to apply their learning.
For Full-Time Lateral Entry Teachers - Fax your RALC or UNCC. Be sure to include what course you'd like to take, your email and your phone number!!! Don't forget to apply online as a student in the lateral entry program. Without that, I cannot issue your permissions to enroll.
For Career Switchers -
- Decide on a teaching field and grade level
- Contact UNCC (graduate certificate program) or RALC for a licensure plan
- Enroll online as a CPCC student - lateral entry program
- Apply for a SNAP / CPCC Login account
- Get advising and continue your program
- Finish your program w/a 4-year school (last 3 competencies only).
