Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    A program endorsement indicates knowledge in new and emerging areas where formal certification does not exist.  A non-instructional endorsement is intended to improve an educator’s skills in dealing with complex educational issues.  An endorsement area can be added on to an existing Level I or Level II certificate.

    An educator can only be assigned to the subject area and grade scopes indicated on their Level I or II certificate.  A non-instructional endorsement only indicates knowledge in new and emerging areas. 

    More information regarding non-instructional endorsements can be found in CSPG 106.
