West Central Alternative Licensure (ATL)

This program licenses qualified candidates as teachers through a site-based one-year program of training and supervision. Candidates' transcripts are evaluated by the Colorado Dept. of Education (CDE). Candidates must pass a content exam and then seek full-time employment. While participating in the program, each candidate has a professional support team to provide instruction, supervision, and performance evaluations while they document 225 clock hours of planned instruction and activities. Upon successful completion of the Alternative Teacher Licensure Training Program, the candidate is eligible for an Initial Teacher License.

The West Central Alternative Licensure program serves potential teacher candidates from DeBeque, Delta County, Hinsdale County, Montrose, Norwood, Ouray, Ridgway, Telluride, and the West End school districts.
