As of July 16, 2009, the Department will issue Supplementary Bilingual Education Extensions for classroom teaching and pupil personnel service provider titles. See NYSUT Information Bulletin 200912 for more information.

no longer as simple as having provisional or permanent certification. Currently, there are no less than thirteen
different types of certificates for teachers and five different types of certificates for teaching assistants. The
following charts detail those certificates. It is important for members to know about their credential and the need to
protect their career and livelihood by maintaining appropriate certification. Local leaders should be aware of the
variety of certificate types and the purpose and validity of each certificate.
