Educational Aide I Certification
The Principles in Education and Training course is applicable for a student to meet the requirements for the Educational Aide I Certificate. While the CTE team works with the Division of Educator Preparation and Certification to update SBEC rules at the next available opportunity, districts should continue to count Principles of Education and Training as a course that allows students to earn the Educational Aide I Certificate.
