Teacher Candidates are required to meet all special requirements set forth by each individual county's Board of Education if applicable. The superintendent, or legal representatives of these agencies or schools, and the representative of the University shall have the authority, after consultation, to reject placement or terminate the participation of any candidate who fails to meet the professional standards of the cooperating school, agency, or the University.

During student teaching, the reports of the supervising teacher s and the recommendation s of the University Supervisor are essential components in determining the eligibility for graduation and recommendation for licensure. Concord University is involved in a collaborative with local public schools. The Partner Schools are designed to prepare future educators, to provide current educators with ongoing professional development, to encourage joint school-university faculty investigation of education-related issues, and to promote the learning of P students.

The Partner Schools, structured as a network that includes University and public school faculty, parents, and community partners, seek to improve teacher education and meet professional development needs and goals as identified by public school faculty. The Partner Schools serve as clinical sites for teacher candidates to teach under the guidance of an expert mentor teacher.

The clinical experiences allow faculty from Concord and the partnerships to collaborate extensively in providing quality experiences for all teacher candidates involved in the initiative. The public schools benefit from the expertise of the University faculty and the significant contributions the teacher candidates make to the school. The children in these schools benefit from the additional adult attention as well as from the enthusiasm and new learning strategies that teacher candidates often bring to the classroom as they prepare to become teachers.

If you intend to practice outside of West Virginia, please check with the appropriate state licensing body. Requirements for licensure vary from one profession to another and from state to state. Students seeking licensure in another state are advised to contact the appropriate licensing board in that state to determine specific requirements or guidelines for reciprocity as we are unable to determine if the program meets requirements for licensure in other U.

For a list of the state departments of education that oversee professional teaching licensure, see the U. Department of Education website - State Contacts page. Many of those programs are nationally accredited.
