This is due in no small part to the certification regulations which went into effect on September 2, 1993 as well as the changes recently adopted by the Regents that go into effect in September 2004. This Bulletin describes those regulations which are currently in place. The purpose of this Information Bulletin is to summarize the information most commonly sought by members and local leaders. Please bear in mind that this Information Bulletin is for INFORMATION ONLY , and is not to be considered as an official interpretation of the rules and regulations of the Commissioner. Official answers on the interpretation of certification regulations and certification status can only be obtained from the Office of Teaching of the State Education Department (see sidebar for contact information). HIGHLIGHTS Certification may be achieved in six ways: through the completion of an approved program; through individual assessment of a candidate's educational background; through Interstate Agreements, including the Northeast Regional Credential; through completion of a new alternative certification program, and new regulations for out-of-state teachers.
