AI Summary
This bill prohibits the New Jersey State Board of Education from requiring candidates for a certificate of eligibility with advanced standing or a certificate of eligibility to complete a performance-based assessment, such as the edTPA, as a condition of eligibility. However, educator preparation programs may still require candidates to complete a performance-based assessment approved by the program's accreditation body. Additionally, the bill exempts individuals who earned a certificate of eligibility with advanced standing or a certificate of eligibility during the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, or 2021-2022 school years from the performance-based assessment requirement, if they were unable to complete it due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
