For Nevada to be granted a teaching license, applicants must fulfill certain requirements. There are three types: professional, standard, and non-renewable. Standard licenses can be used for up to five years. They require a bachelor’s in education and a bachelor’s in education specialty. For a teacher to renew a standard licence, they must complete six continuing educational credits and submit an application for renewal. Teachers who are not eligible to receive a standard Nevada Department of Education license may also be granted alternative licenses. Teachers may apply for an alternative license after completing a teacher training program and passing the Praxis competency exam.
Teachers with a master's degree can obtain professional licenses. These licenses are granted to teachers who have been working full-time for at least three years. A professional license only lasts six years. A teacher who holds a master's degree can renew his or her license by completing six continuing education credits. All applicants must also meet the requirements for a standard license. This includes passing the Praxis II PLT Principles of Learning and Teaching exam (grades K-12). Participation by the teacher in student teaching is also required. Student teachers can assist the teacher when needed. The teacher must also pass Praxis II content exams for the subject area that he or she wants to teach.
A Nevada alternative route to licensure requires students to complete a state-approved teacher preparation program. The curriculum is designed to meet both the needs of educators and students in Nevada. The coursework includes a college practicum and a Praxis competency test. You can also pursue a non-degree route to licensure. Many Nevada school districts will accept this route. Non-degree students can begin teaching while they are completing their coursework. The Department of Education must approve all applicants. They must also provide proof of the coursework they are completing. The Alternative Route to Licensure may be an option for teachers who are unable to complete their coursework at a university, or for those who have already completed their coursework and are looking for a job.
Out-of-state teachers may be granted a non-renewable license for up to one-year, provided they meet all requirements. Teachers must also complete 15 hours annually of professional development and submit documentation of coursework completed. After the first year, the teacher must renew the license each nine months.
Nevada teachers must pass Praxis 2 PLT Principles Of Learning & teaching levels K-12. These exams test the academic knowledge of students at five grade level and in specific subjects. These exams include early childhood education, elementary education, world languages, and special education. There are also subject area tests, which are designed to test the knowledge of teachers in specific subject areas.
Teacher candidates must not only pass the Praxis II content examination but also have to complete the Praxis subject requirements. Students teach in the classroom and help teachers start to plan lessons, deliver lessons, and be more practical in their job. During the student teaching experience, student teachers work under the supervision of an experienced teacher and a college supervisor.
