Alternative Teacher Licensure Programs


In January, 1991, the Colorado State Board of Education adopted policies to implement Alternative Teacher Licensure Programs. These programs provide an opportunity for candidates to become licensed as teachers through a site-based, one-year program of training and supervision.

Alternative Teacher Licensure Programs are developed and operated by school districts, independent schools, boards of cooperative services, institutions of higher education, or a combination of these groups.

Agencies that have received state board approval to provide Alternative Teacher Programs are called designated agencies. Designated Agencies may employ teacher candidates who hold a Statement of Eligibility issued by the Colorado Department of Education. When the department is notified by the Designated Agency that a candidate has been employed, an Alternative Teacher License is issued. The license is issued for one school year, and valid for twelve months from date of issuance.
Additional Information may be found at the Colorado State Board of Education website at www.cde.state.co.us.
