A: Signing off will require entering your password and then clicking on the box with the green checkmark that says “Click Here to Agree and Digitally Sign”

A: Yes.  The mentoring plan will need to be uploaded for the first issuance of the Temporary Provisional certificate, and then again for the first renewal.  The mentoring plan is NOT required if the candidate will be completing KTIP.

A: At this time, no, no definitive date has been set…however we anticipate that it will be sometime around April 1st, but this is subject to change.

A: For now, the waive button will remain on the online CA-TP application form.  This is because there will be students currently enrolled in Option 6 programs seeking additional certification, and are not required to complete another KTIP.  Until these transitional students are complete, this option needs to remain in place.

A: Yes.  The EPP will receive an automated email notification once the CA-TP application has been approved and processed by the EPSB.  The Certification Officer can also check the status of an application in the Pending Applications screen.

A: No.  It is ultimately the candidates’ responsibility to maintain their certification and know their renewal requirements.  Renewal requirements are listed on the face of the individual’s certificate.  Some districts do send out notifications to their teachers when it is nearing time for them to renew. (This is a courtesy practice only)

A: Yes.

A: It is the candidate’s responsibility to do a transcript request and submit the transcript to the EPSB, either by mail or electronically through the clearinghouse.

A; We anticipate that the online CA-TP and CA-1 forms will go live the first week of February.

A: If a candidate completes a Level 1 and Level 2 administrator program, the EPP must show the student admitted and exited from both programs and can recommend for both certifications.  Upon processing, the EPSB certification consultant will only issue the Level 2 certification.  

A: Approved EPP programs will be listed on the EPSB website and can be found at: https://wd.kyepsb.net/epsb.webapps/admissionsexit/ApprovedPrograms/approved.aspx.  Information about non EPP programs, such as National Board and the Continuing Education Option can also be found on our website.  Candidates who wish to apply for rank change based on a non EPP program (NBCT, CEO, or content area degree) will submit the online CA-1 application directly to the EPSB and those will not require an EPP recommendation.

A: Transcripts can be sent electronically through the Clearinghouse or sent by mail.  This is the same process in which transcripts are currently sent.  At this time, we do not have an option for the candidate to upload a transcript directly to our system.

A: Yes.  If they complete an approved rank change program through an EPP, the candidate will initiate the online CA-1 application through our website.  The EPP will receive notification that there is a pending application awaiting their review and approval.

A: The Certification staff will automatically add the 5 year sub if it’s for the initial statement of eligibility.
