Credential Recommendation Process
Credential Recommendation Process
Once a participating teacher completes Year 2 or an Early Completion Option program, he/she will participate in the following:
- The primary responsibility of collecting evidence of professional growth and development lies with the participating teacher with the guidance and assistance of the mentor.
- The Coordinator along with a Lead Mentor reviews candidate competency benchmarks and provides feedback towards program completion. This occurs during Year 1 and Year 2 of the program.
- All Year 2 and Early Completion Option teachers will participate in the Colloquium and exit interview, sharing evidence of professional growth with a panel of mentors. The Request for a Clear Credential form will be submitted to the Teacher Induction Program at this time.
- At the completion of all Induction requirements, the Request for a Clear Credential form is signed and forwarded to the Credentials Analyst in Personnel Services.
- A Verification of Completion Form (41-Induction) is completed and the Credentials Analyst meets with the participating teacher to complete the online application to submit to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
- The Commission on Teacher Credentialing contacts the participating teacher with verification and payment information.
