SOCE/Limited Extensions
| Posted 06/21/2019
Statements of Continued Eligibility (SOCE) application deadlines have been extended from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. There is not a deadline to apply for the limited extension. Candidates must submit a completed HOUSSE rubric from each district for each year of experience for each subject area that the candidate seeks an SOCE, but teachers only need to submit one HOUSSE rubric for each subject area in a district to demonstrate their competency in that subject for their experience in such district. You can research the requirements for these certificates using the Area of Interest entitled “Statements of Continued Eligibility and Limited Extensions”.
