WLU provides approved online coursework. Program participants must possess a minimum of a 2.75 overall cumulative GPA and a valid Substitute Teaching Permit issued by the WVDE to be approved for enrollment in this coursework option. Participants must successfully complete EDUC 518 with a grade of “B” or higher to receive qualifying credit towards licensure and provide documentation to the WVDE. As part of successfully completing the course, West Liberty University requires that participants be fully responsible for meeting clinical experience requirements which include, but are not limited to, achieving a grade of 80% on the West Virginia Teacher Performance Assessment (WVTPA). Program participants may not complete their teacher performance assessment and clinical placement(s) outside of West Virginia. Generally, candidates complete the program within one semester, but the maximum amount of time allowed is one year.
