|
The Alternative Route to Interim Teacher Certification (ARC) Program is a Michigan Department of Education-approved teacher preparation program allowing individuals to obtain initial certification in elementary education (grades PK-3, PK-6, or K-5), or add endorsements to a current teaching certificate.
A PK-3, PK-6, or K-5 Elementary Interim Teaching Certificate (ITC) is earned upon completion of pre-certification coursework, CPR/First Aid certification, passing of appropriate MTTC, and successful background check. The ITC enables program participants to work as certified PK-3 or Elementary classroom teachers in Michigan’s public, charter, and parochial classrooms. A Standard Teaching Certificate is earned upon completion of the following: three (3) years of successful teaching under the ITC, instructional support from Schoolcraft College (peer mentoring and instructional coaching), and completion of additional program requirements.
