Checking the Educator Certification System
for Approval Status
Before you can formally renew your standard
or master level certificate, you must first secure the approval
of your Local
Professional Development Committee (LPDC), 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 Chicago
Public Schools LPDC. If approved by the Chicago Public Schools
LPDC, your file will then 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 all three 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”;
- Next, select “Statement of Assurance”. You
will see either a question mark (?) or “YES” under
the LPDC, 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
all three 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.
