Teacher Licensure

Goddard’s low residency BA in Education and Licensure Program is NASDTEC, ICC, and Vermont state approved for preparing students to receive a Vermont Initial License in one or more of six separate endorsement areas.  A Licensure Only Option is available for post-baccalaureate applicants. An Additional Endorsement Option is available for licensed teachers wishing to add an additional endorsement.

Students enter the low residency BA in Education and Licensure Program with approximately 60 liberal arts credits, and generally spend two semesters addressing the Goddard College and Department of Education licensure competencies in a Pre-Placement Portfolio, which includes content knowledge requirements in a specific licensure endorsement area. A third semester is spent in a student teaching placement and in completing a Licensure Portfolio focused on putting acquired knowledge into practice and reflecting on teaching experiences. An additional senior study semester fulfills Goddard’s low residency BA degree requirements.
