Checking the Educator Certification System
(ECS) for Approval Status
Before you can formally renew your administrative
certificate, you must first secure the approval of the Regional
Office
of Education (ROE) and the Illinois State Board of Education/State
Teacher Certification Board (ISBE/STCB). Once you submit
the Statement of Assurance, your file will automatically
be sent to your ROE. Once approved by the ROE, your file
will be sent to ISBE/STCB for review. Once you secure both
levels of approval, you may renew your certificate(s). To
check your approval status, please:
- Log into your Educator
Certification System account;
- Select “Professional Development
and Renewal”;
- Next, select “Statement of Assurance”.
You will see either the letter “P” or “YES” under
the ROE and ISBE/STCB levels. The letter “P’ means
that your Statement of Assurance is still pending. The
word “YES” means
that your Statement of Assurance has been approved at that
level. Once you secure both approvals (that is, you see “YES” under
each level), you may renew your certificate(s).
- To renew
your administrative certificate on the Educator
Certification System, select “Register Certificates” and
follow the prompts.
Important note: If registering/renewing
certificates on the Educator Certification System applicants
must use a
credit
card. Furthermore, an additional $1.75 convenience fee
will be charged for each credit card transaction completed
on
the Educator Certification System. |
