PROVISIONAL TEACHERS |
|
Two types of provisional licenses exist in the State of New Jersey. The
first type of provisional license is one in which the candidate holds a
Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing (CEAS). The CEAS is
issues to all graduates of state-approved college teacher training
programs. The second type of provisional license is one in which the
candidate holds a Certificate of Eligibility (CE). The CE is issued to
those qualified applicants who have not completed a state approved
college teacher-training program and are alternate route candidates.
Both provisional licenses require the employing district to provide the
required support and supervision as outlined by the Department of
Education. Two formative evaluations at thirty weeks (34 for alternate
route candidates) of employment and a recommendation for standard
licensure are components of the provisional program. |

MENTORING |
|
Effective September 2001, the New Jersey Department of
Education implemented a new and rigorous mentoring program for all
novice teachers. The Department of Education defines the goal of the
mentoring program as follows: |
|
 To enhance teacher
knowledge of and strategies related to the Core Curriculum Standards in
order to facilitate student achievement;
To identify exemplary
teaching skills and educational practices necessary to acquire and
maintain excellence in teaching; and
To assist novice
teachers in the performance of their duties and adjustment to the
challenge of teaching. For the 2005-2006 school year, all
first year provisional and alternate route teachers will participate in
the district's mentoring program. A mentor will be assigned to each
first year teacher, and mentor and mentee will participate in the
district's mentoring program plan. The stipend paid to the mentor will
be funded by the Department of Education if funding is available or by
the first year teacher. |
