Bill Summary

Prohibits State Board of Education from requiring completion of performance-based assessment as condition of eligibility for certificate of eligibility with advanced standing or certificate of eligibility.

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.
