Certification
School Violence Prevention and Intervention Workshop
This training is available only from a provider approved by the New York State Education Department. A list of School Violence Prevention and Intervention Workshop service providers is available on the Approved Providers of Training web page maintained by the Office of Curriculum and Instruction.
Submitting the workshop
- The information you submit to the workshop provider must be an exact match of the identifying information in your TEACH account (SSN, date of birth, full name). You are responsible for verifying the information in your TEACH account and making sure that it matches the information you submit to the workshop provider. If it does not match, this will delay the processing of your workshop. If you have questions about the information the workshop provider has on file, you must contact the provider to make sure that they can submit your workshop correctly.
- Providers are required to report workshop completers electronically. NOTE: The Office of Teaching Initiatives will NOT accept certificates of completion.
- If you received a college recommendation from a New York State college or university with a degree date of May 2001 or later, no Certification of Completion will be awarded because the training was a required component of your program. TEACH will automatically credit the workshop based on the degree date listed in your college recommendation; no additional training is required.
Verifying the workshop in TEACH
After the workshop has been submitted, check your TEACH account regularly to see when it gets entered. You can do this by accessing to the Account Information page in your TEACH account and going to the Workshops section. After the workshop has been verified, it will immediately appear as verified on your application. Please note that the Workshops section will not list this workshop if you received a college recommendation. In these cases, TEACH automatically credits the workshop as noted above.
