Appropriately Certified Teachers | As required by ESSA, PDE will use the Teacher Information Management System (TIMS) in conjunction with data collected in PIMS templates (Staff, Student, Course, Course Instructor, Student Course Enrollment) to determine if students are served by effective, experienced, and in-field educators. Teacher certification data from TIMS will be used specifically to identify if the teacher is appropriately certified to teach the courses that are reported in the Course Instructor template. Certification and Staffing Policy Guidelines (CSPG) can be found on the PDE website at https://www.education.pa.gov/Educators/Certification/Staffing%20Guidelines/Pages/default.aspx. They provide guidance and clarification to educators regarding the issuance of professional certificates, the grade level and content scope of certificate subject areas, and the appropriate certificate for staffing professional positions in public schools.
