South Fayette Township School District has effectively leveraged the flexibility of Edulink’s Comply to address the PDE-mandated requirement to track teacher advancement from Level I to Level II certification.

The Challenge

Level I Pennsylvania instructional and education specialist certificates are valid for six years of service, not calendar years. In general, to receive Level II certification, an educator must complete 3-6 years of eligible teaching on the certification at issue, at least 24 PDE-approved semester credits beyond a bachelor’s degree, and complete an induction program. More specifically, according to PDE Certification Staffing Policy Guideline 7 (CSPG 7), all the requirements to convert a Level I to Level II can be found on the PDE website.

Faced with the complexity of these requirements, South Fayette Township School District recognized the need to bring more efficiency to their current workflow and streamline their process.

The Solution

Streamlining the Teacher Advancement Process

Within Edulink’s Comply Software, a dedicated item is created and assigned to each teacher requiring Level II certification. This item provides all necessary instructions and requirements for fulfilling the advancement criteria. Through Comply’s automated email notifications, teachers are prompted to complete the process according to their individual timelines.
