This program provides the required coursework for Social Service and Attendance licensure. The program is designed for educational personnel who hold a valid license, or for social workers who hold at least a bachelor’s degree.
In addition to the coursework requirements, students who do not hold a Professional Teaching Certificate or a master’s degree are required to pass the PRAXIS 5752 Core Academic Skills for Educators test for licensure.
Every student must designate a practicing supervisor or attendance director who agrees to act as his/her mentor during the program.
Field experiences are a required component of this program and are embedded in program classes.
Designed for working professionals, the program is delivered entirely online, allowing students to complete coursework at their own pace while balancing personal and professional commitments.
Graduates of the Social Service and Attendance Certificate & Licensure program are prepared for careers helping to address barriers to student success and promote regular school attendance.
