Question 6

Teacher Certification

Answer 6

You must earn a professional license to practice teaching, just as you would to practice law or medicine.

The professional licensure requirements are set at the state level, so each state policy may be slightly different.

Question 7

1. Teachers were employed “at will” by local board.

2. STATE control of certification began 1919

Answer 7

North Carolina is an at-will employment state, which means that employers have the freedom to decide to fire employees. There are exceptions to the “at will”rule.

Unless your termination violates a specific law or goes against the terms of your contract, your employer can fire you for any reason at -including reasons that seem ridiculous or unfair.
