NC Early Childhood Credential Equivalent

  • High school and college faculty met and determined that ECE I and II align sufficiently with competencies of EDU 119 to be awarded articulated college credit for EDU 119. A review by community college academic deans reaffirmed the committee's recommendation.
  • In a memorandum dated July 16, 2008, the NC High School to Community College Articulation Agreement was revised to reflect that, for school year 2008-9, secondary courses 7111 Early Childhood Education I, Version 2000 and 7112 Early Childhood Education II, Version 2002, with addition of the history competency from 7111, Version 2008, articulates to EDU 119, Introduction to Early Childhood Education at the community college level. For school year 2009-10 and beyond, secondary courses 7111 Early Childhood Education I, Version 2008 and 7112 Early Childhood Education II, Version 2009 articulates to EDU 119, Introduction to Early Childhood Education at the community college level. These provisions go into effect in August 2008. The community college courses EDU 111, Early Childhood Credential I and EDU 112, Early Childhood Credential II, will be retired from the Combined Course Library as of December 2008.
  • The NC Child Development Lead Teacher Equivalency is available to students who meet the recently updated conditions required for articulation during the two-year period of curriculum revision, when field tests and revised curriculum guides are first implemented. This means that the scale score of 80 or above will be accepted both by the NC Community College System and the Division of Child Development for articulation and credentialing purposes for students who took Early Childhood Education during the following years:
    • Early Childhood Education I (7111): 2008-2009 and 2009-2010
    • Early Childhood Education II (7112): 2009-2010 and 2010-2011.
    The Division of Child Development has revised the NC Child Development Lead Teacher Equivalency form to reflect the change from raw to scale score as one of the criteria for earning equivalency status.
