Summary:
At D51 Elevate, we recognize that traditional licensure pathways don't work for everyone. That's why we offer an alternative routeone that's flexible, accessible, and designed to support individuals from varied backgrounds in pursuing their passion for teaching. Through a blend of coursework, hands-on experience, and reflective practice, participants gain the skills, knowledge, and resilience needed to thrive as licensed educators.

D51 Elevate is more than a licensure programit's a supportive community of learners committed to growth and collaboration. Together, we're shaping the future of education by empowering educators to make a difference every day.

Alternative licensure programs address teacher shortages by:

Allowing individuals with expertise in specific fields to transition into teaching roles,
Diversify the teaching staff,
Meet specialized needs like math, science, and special education,
Offer professional development through teaching experiences,
Promote retention and career advancement within the teaching profession.

D51 alternative licensure teachers will engage in a two-year program structured as a gradual release model. Professional learning is based on the Colorado Teacher Quality Standards to support the academic, social, and emotional needs of students and respond to the needs of all groups of students. The learning centers on D51's Teaching and Learning Framework competencies: Learner-Centered Environments, Design for Learning, Monitoring Learning, and Professional Engagement.

Year 2 - Responsive; Asynchronous online learning; English Language Learner CDE requirement; Science of Reading CDE requirements for SpEd candidates; once-a-quarter meetings in-person
- In both years, candidates are supported by skilled mentors through various activities, including instructional practices, professional learning sessions, and reflective cycles.
Completing this program allows candidates to:
- Apply for their initial teacher's license from the Colorado Department of Education.
- Add a Special Education endorsement to a professional teaching license

Special Education Candidates:
Based on the Special Education Core and Generalists standards, the learning will center around three key learning areas: Law and the IEP, Assessment and Design, and Collaboration and Communication. These categories will be interwoven and revisited throughout the two-year program, creating a spiral learning approach to ensure that each is addressed on multiple occasions and to allow depth of learning over the two years.
