RVCC Alternate Route to teaching program Information Session
2025-08-28 18:00 - 19:00 | Virtual Event
Raritan Valley Community College and its Education Department faculty and programs offer several pathways for traditional and Alternate Route teacher candidates, as well as paraprofessionals.
The college’s academic, for-credit programs support those candidates who take the traditional path to licensure. Often, prospective educators come from other areas of study or from the workforce as career changers.
The college recently signed an agreement with Brookdale Community College to offer the 50-Hour Preservice Introduction to Teaching course from the Alternate Route to Teaching – Community College Program.
The non-credit course, to be offered through the College’s Workforce Training Center, is the precursor to the remaining 350 hours of coursework required for candidates who hold a Bachelor’s degree, have passed the required Praxis II exam, and have applied for a Certificate of Eligibility to seek employment as a New Jersey educator without having gone through a traditional teacher education program.
To learn more about RVCC’s Alternate Route to teaching program, attend a virtual information session on Thursday, Aug. 28, from 6-7 p.m. To register for the information session, go here.
