SF 2154 – Qualifications for community college CTE instructors
SF
2154 gives another option by which a community college instructor may teach
in the career and technical education (CTE) area. The bill now allows someone
with an associate degree in the relevant CTE field, if such degree is
considered terminal for that field of instruction, and the instructor has at
least 3,000 hours of recent and relevant work experience to teach CTE classes
in their area. Currently, an instructor must have a baccalaureate or graduate
degree, or if less than a BA, they must have special training and at least
6,000 hours of recent and relevant work experience in the area in which the
instructor teaches classes. The bill allows anyone with any 4-year degree and 18
semester hours of the relevant CTE classroom work to be eligible to teach those
CTE classes.
