Program Content & Format
Designed to complement what teachers are already doing in their classrooms, candidates have three years to complete all licensure requirements but can choose a faster pace. Stanly Community College offers six online courses focused on the pedagogy of teaching as well as preparation for licensure and certification. While progressing through cohorts, the program will meet the individual needs of each student.
Students are mentored and supported by experienced faculty who are licensed teachers and have years of experience teaching in the elementary school environment.
