Credential - Term used by CCCS for Pathway/Cluster areas for which an instructor has met a specific set of criteria. Credential vs. Endorsement - what CCCS called “credential” is now referred to as a CTE “endorsement”. 1

CTE Definitions • Occupational experience - For most CTE credential/endorsement areas the time frame is seven years with the exception of Health Science Technology, which requires five years paid experience. • Student teaching (up to 800 hours of credit) may be combined with occupational experience to meet the 2,000 hour requirement. • Paraprofessional experience is not accepted. • Self-employment is verified by tax forms. • Teaching experience - the three years of required teaching experience does not need to be consecutive, but must be within the last seven years. • Teaching experience at the Community College level is also accepted 2
