Section 80-5.24 - Residency certificate
(a) A candidate who is enrolled in a registered residency program pursuant to section 52.21 of this Title, may, upon submission of an application with a recommendation by the partnering institution of higher education and a recommendation by the partnering school, school district, or board of cooperative educational services, receive a residency certificate under this section.
(b) This certificate shall only be issued to candidates who submit satisfactory evidence of having a commitment from the partnering school, school district, or board of cooperative educational services of employment for the length of the residency program and a plan for providing mentoring and instructional support to the candidate.
(c) General requirements.
(1) Time validity. The certificate shall be valid for no more than three years from its effective date; provided however, the certificate shall have an earlier expiration date if the candidate successfully completes the residency program, as determined by the partnering institution of higher education; or exits the program, as determined by the partnering higher education institution. If such earlier expiration date occurs for a candidate who successfully completes the program, the expiration date shall be three months after the date of the institutional recommendation for the initial or professional certificate in the subject area of the certificate sought.
(2) Limitations. The certificate shall authorize a candidate to work only in a school, school district, or board of cooperative educational services for which a commitment for employment and mentoring has been made. The candidate shall not be the teacher of record.
(3) For candidates called to active duty in the Armed Forces, the validity period of the residency certificate may be extended for the time of active service and an additional 12 months from the end of such service, provided that the holder is a candidate in a registered residency program pursuant to section 52.21 of this Title.
(d) Upon successful completion of the residency program, as determined by the partnering higher education institution and partnering school, school district, or board of cooperative educational services, co-teaching experience during the residency experience may be credited toward the experience required for the candidate's professional teaching certificate; provided that such experience meets the requirements set forth in section 80-3.4 of this Part.
