Non-instructional endorsements indicate knowledge in new and emerging areas where formal certification does not exist. They are intended to improve an educator’s skills in dealing with complex educational issues. Non-instructional endorsements can be added to an existing Level I or Level II Instructional, Educational Specialist, Supervisory, Administrative, or Career and Technical Instructional certificate upon the completion of an approved program and, when applicable, verification of required experience. Educators are limited to assignments in the subject area(s) and grade scope(s) of the certificate held.
An educator can only be assigned to the subject area and grade scopes indicated on their Level I or II certificate. A non-instructional endorsement only indicates knowledge in new and emerging areas.
More information regarding non-instructional endorsements can be found in CSPG 106.
