Abstract: The modernized National Career Clusters® Framework presents an opportunity for states to make their policies and guidance on educator licensure more flexible when selecting instructors and the courses they teach. All learners should have access to high-quality instruction to further their success in Career Technical Education (CTE) programs and beyond. Flexible teacher credentialing is critical in ensuring that course instruction reflects the interdisciplinary nature of work and that learners have adequate instructional support in their career preparation journeys. This brief outlines the secondary educator licensure landscape and highlights change processes and strategies that states can implement to create more flexible policies surrounding educator credentialing. This resource defines a teaching credential as a broad term encompassing a license, an endorsement, or another certification that permits someone to teach in a classroom. A teaching license is considered to be a credential earned through completing a teacher preparation program and passing a state licensure exam. The resource shares: (1) common licensure requirements and educator profiles; (2) optimal state for this policy area; (3) promising state practices; (4) key questions for consideration; and (5) recommendations. This resource is part of a collection of briefs that provide recommendations, models, and promising practices to maximize the implementation of the Framework.
