Many have found it extremely difficult to obtain the required credits for renewal during this period of time. This is the reason the code was changed to allow three years for renewal for initial employment. The certification code provides a three year renewal period for individuals for their initial employment under a certification title code such as teacher, supervisor, administrator, counselor, etc.
Every district utilizes substitute instructors to some degree.
There are other situations where instructors cover a small portion of a course for which they are not certifiable. For example, an English instructor covering a portion of technical report writing in the Police Recruit course. The individual request will be for either provisional certification or five-year certification. The individual request must be for an instructional area and cannot be submitted for a course.
