Section 126-136-3 - Purpose

3.1. The primary purpose of licensure is to assure the public that educators, paraprofessionals, and others licensed to work in West Virginia's public schools meet established levels of competence to deliver an appropriate and effective educational program to the state's public school students. Licensure requirements established in this policy provide a means of ensuring that persons employed in West Virginia public schools have the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the responsibilities of their professional assignments in instruction, student support, administration, and any other areas of responsibility for which licensure is required.

3.2. The licensure system defined in this policy supports the proposition that licensure patterns and specializations should meet the needs of students and the mobility of qualified educational personnel.
