Checking the Educator Certification System for
Approval Status
Before you can formally renew your administrative
certificate, you must first secure the approval of the
Regional Office of
Education (ROE) for the City of Chicago and the State Teacher
Certification Board (ISBE/STCB). Once you submit the Statement
of Assurance, your file will automatically be sent to the
ROE for the City of Chicago (the Illinois State Board of
Education).
Once approved by the ROE, your file will be sent to the
State Teacher Certification Board. 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 (www.isbe.net/ecs)
account;
- Select “Professional Development and Renewal”;
- Next, select “Statement of Assurance”. You
will see either a question mark (?) or “YES” under
the ROE and ISBE/STCB levels. The question mark 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 standard or master level teaching certificate on
the Educator Certification System (www.isbe.net/ecs),
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.
