Description |
A certificate of this type is issued to New York State certified classroom teachers to enable them to teach in a different subject area where a shortage exists. The district/employer must submit a Superintendent Statement (entitled “Supplementary Certificate”) in TEACH. If the employer does not have administrative access to the TEACH system, they cannot utilize the Supplementary certificate and the candidate will need to pursue a different type of certificate. The Superintendent Statement must be entered during the current school year, confirming that a shortage still exists in this subject area. And when completing the statement, the employer should answer question #3 with the date the candidate will become employed under the Supplementary certificate. |
Validity |
Valid for five years while completing requirements for the Initial or Professional certificate in the new subject area. Supplementary certificates issued prior to May 2017 were valid for three years. |
