Certificate for Teaching

All certificates and renewals of certificates in Nebraska are issued by the State Commissioner of Education upon recommendation of your college. Essentially the same is true in other states. In order to be recommended, a complete record of all college hours (including transfer credit from other institutions) must be on file, and th e candidate must have be e n admitted to teacher education curriculum. Credils for certificate renewals must apply toward the requirements of the next higher certificate or a degree. Applica• tion forms required in Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas are available in the Office of the Registrar. Applications for other states should be requested to the Appropriate state department of education. The completed application and required state fee are essential in addition to an official transcript in order to rece ive a certificate or renewal.

Approved Program of Studies. It is imperative that t eac hers seeking certificate renewal or a higher certificate, have a program of studies approved for this purpose. This usually means the same as having an academic progress sheet prepared showing previous college work. It is the responsibility of the candidate seeking certification to know certification requirements and to have an academic progress sheet on college work towards a degree.

Endorsement. At Peru State the responsibility for recommending qualified persons for certification, has been delegated to the Administrative Council which reviews academic and professional qualifications, character, and competence as a teacher. Meeting graduation scholastic requirements does not automatically bring rec ommendation for certification. Applications for certification in the summer should be submitted to the Office of the Registrar at least two weeks prior to the end of either five-week term.
