State Board of Community Colleges to initiate lateral
entry process
RALEIGH - North Carolina's community colleges are poised to offer a program designed to put more teachers in the classroom. The State Board of Community Colleges is expected to initiate the process to give community colleges the ability to offer lateral entry programs to qualified individuals who want to teach, but don't have a teaching certificate. The action is part of the first 2006 meeting of the State Board of Community Colleges on January 20 in Raleigh at the Caswell Building.
Last year, the General Assembly enacted and Governor Easley signed the measure enabling community colleges to provide a program to prepare adults who already have baccalaureate degrees in other fields to become certified teachers. The legislation called for the program to be implemented no later than May 1, 2006.
Two community colleges, Central Piedmont and Sandhills, provided this program for a short period. Now, those colleges and the 56 other community colleges across the state will be able to provide the courses, once the program is developed by the System Office. On Thursday, the Board will hear a presentation on lateral entry from System President Martin Lancaster at the Issues Luncheon. The State Board will then consider the guidelines for the lateral entry certification program on Friday.
Across the state, community colleges are already working with universities on "2+2" partnerships that allow students to remain in their home communities, take university education courses on community college campuses and earn their teaching degrees. The Appalachian Learning Alliance and Wachovia Partnership East are examples of programs giving community college students the ability to obtain degree completion without ever setting foot on a university campus.
The complete State Board agenda follows.
