Worksite Learning & Career Choices *Due to recent reviews of WAC 181-77-068 Worksite Learning and Career Choices will no longer be available for CTE conditional certifications Our office cannot grant any CTE Conditionals as of June, 2016 for Worksite Learning and/or Worksite Learning and Career Choices. Even if completion the WSL course, our office cannot grant the CTE conditional certificate. The teacher/applicant will need to enroll in the BLOCK I (college/university route) or BLOCK II (Business and Industry route program) in an area other than Worksite Learning and work towards obtaining the CTE Initial. If you have completed the Worksite Learning course and hold a CTE probationary, CTE initial or CTE continuing please use the Form 4075W and submit the signed original to our office. You can email Kelli Bennett for the form at kelli.bennett@k12.wa.us 3
Being Reported Under a Teacher Duty Code If being reported under a teacher duty code, no matter the funding source, subject area, or other certifications such as CTE, ESA or Admin the timeline for the Residency teacher certificate will begin and the Professional teacher certificate requirements must be met. Any educator, in any subject area that has access to a classroom can complete the Professional teacher certificate requirements.(proteach or National Boards) It is in the best interest of the educator to keep their general education teaching certificate valid and follow through with the Professional teaching certificate requirements. 4
CTE Conditionals When your teacher applies for the CTE conditional before the district places the request in the system, please communicate with your teacher that they do NOT apply again after the district places the request in the system especially if they have already submitted their application and paid the $40.00 fee. Our office does not refund. Please email me directly if you placed a request in the system after the applicant already applied. I will add your request to their already paid for application.

CTE Conditionals and CTE Probationary district requests Please place a note in the plan for completion under the district request if a school district AND a skills center need to be on the certificate. 6
CTE Continuing holders Great news! WAC 181-79A-231 has been changed at the July PESB meeting (July 20 th ) to allow CTE teachers who have or have held a continuing CTE cert to apply for the Lifetime Substitute certificate and could substitute in any class, including CTE classes and/or Basic Education classes. This includes all CTE routes (Plan 1 College/university route and Plan 2 Business and Industry route) To apply, you will log into your EDS/E-cert account and chose Substitute (Prior WA certificate) and complete the application. 7
CTE Directors Certificate (FYI update) WAC change to WAC 181-77-071 Adds Residency certificate to list of administrator certificates making them eligible to get this certificate. As an emergency WAC amendment it went into effect immediately, and has been fully approved as of May 2016. You may use this now for the CTE Director application. The CTE Director application is available on-line. http://www.k12.wa.us/certification/cte/director.aspx 8
CTE Probationary update CTE Probationary will need to be completed in the EDS/E-Cert system just like the CTE Conditional. District will submit their request(s) FIRST; then the applicant logs into their account and applies for their district request. This is also the way you will request a RENEWAL of the CTE Probationary or CTE conditional. There is a new form included in the CTE Initial/Probationary application for the applicant to have completed by the institution where they are enrolled in their program for a CTE certificate. This is a new form called the 4075E-1 for college/university route and the 4075G-1 for the business and industry route. This is a new requirement to prove the applicant is enrolled in a CTE program and working towards the CTE initial certificate. 9
CTE Initial-update CTE Initial has all the forms on the CTE Initial website on the far right hand side of the page. http://www.k12.wa.us/certification/cte/initial.aspx Be sure to explain this to the applicant that they need to download the forms and submit them either electronically in the system under their account or by scanning them in a pdf attachment to cert@k12.wa.us or by mailing the forms/documents to our office. 10

Friendly Reminder For CTE Directors and Human Resource personnel: Remember to have the teacher/applicant create their account in EDS/E-Cert if they have not already done so. More information can be found here on how to create an account or for returning users: http://www.k12.wa.us/certification/e-cert/default.aspx Once your teacher has successfully updated their account or created a new account, then the district CTE Director or Human Resource personnel requests the CTE Conditional or Probationary FIRST before the applicant goes in to applies for their district request. 17
