Provisional Teacher Program-Entering Final Summative Ratings and Mentorship

In order for a new teacher who is in the Provisional Teacher program to qualify for a Standard certificate, one of the requirements is for two Summative ratings of Highly Effective or Effective to be received. In addition, a total of 30 weeks of Mentoring must also have been completed.

These Summative Ratings and Mentor Weeks must be entered into the new educator’s Provisional Teacher program. To do this:

• On the NJEdCert Home page click on Lookup Educator Certifications
• Enter the Employee’s First Name and Last Name then click the Search button.
• Here you will see a list of the certificates issued to this educator.
• Scroll down until you see Accounts-Recently Viewed.
• You should see the educator’s name in blue type. If this educator’s name is not listed, then use the search bar to search for the employee by typing in the first and last name.
• Click on the educator’s name (in blue type).
• You will see a new page. Click on the blue box Summer Ratings & Mentorship.
• In the box that appears, click on Final Summative Rating (if you are adding the summative rating) or click on Mentorship Information (if you are adding the Mentoring Weeks). NOTE: You can obtain the Summative Rating for each PTP teacher by emailing the Director of Human Resources this request. The mentor weeks are provided to you each month by the mentor teacher as they complete the mentor logs in the Professional Growth program.
• Follow the prompts for each.
• Once completed, if the teacher has completed the requirements to obtain a standard certificate, then refer to the directions titled: Provisional Teacher Program-Conversion to Standard Process.
