You will need one transcript for each state where certification is desired. Some states, including Kentucky, charge for the issuance of a teaching certificate. If the state to which you are applying requires such payment, a money order or certified check made payable to the treasurer of the state must accompany the materials sent to Georgetown College. The Kentucky General Assembly directed the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to require that every teacher seeking initial certification take a professional teacher examination. Passing scores on all assessments appropriate for each teaching certificate are required for initial certification.
Most universities serve as testing centers.
A complete listing of these centers is provided in the Bulletin of Information, which may be obtained from Educational Testing Service, CN 6050, Princeton, NJ 08541-6050. Registration information and dates are sent to colleges and universities throughout the state. A prospective teacher should complete the test well in advance of applying for certification. The examinee is entitled to a copy of the scores also. Additional reports may be obtained on payment of a fee.
