CTE Administrator Endorsement

The MDE Office of Career and Technical Education, the Commission on Educator Licensure, and the State Board of Education have approved the #911 CTE Administrator endorsement for newly hired CTE administrators. These administrators will be given a nonrenewable, provisional three-year license — #911 CTE Administrator. This license is an add-on endorsement awarded to an applicant who holds a currently valid 486 license. During the three-year provisional period, the applicant must successfully complete all three requirements stated below. At the time of the successful completion of all requirements, the applicant will be awarded a standard #911 CTE Administrator license.
