[quote=Anonymous]If you were hoping that MCPS would be able to replace veteran teachers who quit by offering emergency certification to any warm body, I have bad news for you.

Emergency Certificate
On April 28, 2020, the State Board of Education (SBOE) voted to adopt amendments to the Code of Maryland Regulation (COMAR) 13A.12.01.14 Waivers and Special Certification Provisions on an emergency basis. The Administrative Executive and Legislative Review Committee approved the emergency regulation on May 26, 2020.
The amendment outlines the conditions of an emergency certificate, established to be issued during a state of emergency at the authorization of the State Superintendent, to those who meet the outlined criteria. The purpose of this certificate is to allow those educator candidates who have completed all of the requirements of certification with the exception of assessments and/or clinical experiences, the ability to accept a position with a Maryland local school system, state institution, or nonpublic school approved under COMAR 13A.09.10, as they complete the remainder of the professional certification requirements.
On May 26, 2020, the emergency regulation took effect and will remain in effect until November 20, 2020. During this time, it is the intention of the MSDE to recommend the promulgation of this amendment through the standard regulatory process.

In other words, if you did not take the required coursework —which includes the education courses, you are out of luck. Even if you have a 1980s doctorate in physics and suddenly found yourself unemployed because Macy’s is closing stores. [/quote]
