Kentucky Teacher Certification Info

An advanced certificate can prepare Kentucky teachers for more job opportunities while simultaneously helping them improve their instruction in an era of swiftly changing technology. Kentucky teachers who earn advanced certificates in educational technology, eLearning or in another classroom technology program can prepare themselves to teach at online schools like Kentucky Virtual High School, which currently employs certified teachers who have master's degrees and additional training in teaching online. If teaching online is not your ambition, an add-on certificate in one of Kentucky's teacher shortage areas can increase your job prospects in the state. These areas - identified by the U.S. Department of Education - include exceptional children, ESL, and a number of secondary subjects, including the sciences, math, and social studies. Kentucky employs about 12,500 secondary teachers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In the University of Kentucky - Lexington Instructional Media certificate program, you will learn to use all types of media, from motion pictures to 35mm film. The certificate can help you gain the knowledge needed to work in a media center or bring media into the virtual or physical classroom. At St. Catharine College, you can earn an add-on certificate that enables you to teach English to second language learners. This subject is also one of Kentucky's teacher shortage areas. Finally, at the University of Louisville, you can earn both an Instructional Technology certificate and a certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). The university also offers a number of other programs, including those in the high-need area of science.
