Endorsement Phase Out (AX) Communication Arts (BC) Journalism (CF) Sociology (LZ) Visual Arts Ed Specialist (OX) Fine Arts (MD) Recreation (MH) Dance (GM) Marketing Education (NR) Computer Science (FE) Russian (FI) Polish (YL) Bilingual Other We been examining endorsement areas that have under production, under utilization in the K-12 schools or we can’t keep up on updating standards. We’ve found that these 12 areas have either or both. For example we have very few sociology candidates and little utilization in schools. In fact some of these areas have virtually no production of candidates – polish. Removing these as endorsement areas will mean that K-12 administrators will be able to use their discretion in assigning teachers to teach these areas. Specifically – an administrator could place a certificated teacher who has experience in dance in the position OR they could choose to hire the local dance teacher part time. This should provide administrators with greater flexibility in assigning teachers. What this means for your programs???

Endorsement Phase Out Timeline Phase out effective 1/1/2018 Roster due to MDE 1/30/2018 Candidate coursework and MTTC completed 7/1/2021 MTTC test options eliminated 7/1/2021 Last date to issue these endorsements 7/1/2026 We have a phase timeline. (see slide) Our goal is to communicate this to both K-12 and higher education through a variety of means. If you notice, the timeline is Jan 2018. Our hope is that this coincides with rules revision and the removal of the minor program requirement. Our expectation is that you will consult with your faculty and determine how to advise candidates about programs and complementary programs or concentrations, regardless of whether they are endorsement areas.
