(see 8.33-53 and 8.33-54). A vocational certificate shall be required of all teachers in reimbursed departments and granted upon the recommendation of the Director of Home Economics.

(1) Temporary vocational certificates valid for one year, may be recommended by the Director of Home Economics when the candidate has completed the cadet teaching, special methods courses, has a plan for completion of the requirements, and is recommended by an approved

institution.

(2) Vocational certificates valid for five (5) years, may be recommended by

the Director of Home Economics when the candidate has completed the four-year required program for vocational homemaking teaching as set forth in this Plan and the candidate has been recommended by an approved institution. Completion of the fifth year is required for the first renewal. For renewal thereafter the teacher must, within the five-year period immediately preceding the request for renewal, have completed a minimum of one year of successful teaching in the home economics field and have earned a minimum of seven (7) quarter hours or five (5) semester hours including home economics and/or home economics education. When granted prior approval by the Director of Home Economics, enrollment in certain home economics courses of less than college grade and work on State vocational homemaking teacher curriculum committees may apply toward partial renewal requirements for a vocational certificate. (For vocational homemaking teachers returning after an absence of ten (10) or more years see 1.53-26(b)).
