FAQ

Cardonex Verify

Yes, Cardonex Verify can recognize teachers hired under flexible certifications if your district has a District of Innovation (DOI) distinction. Here's how it works:

DOI Teacher Designation: When teachers are hired under flexible certifications as part of your district's DOI plan, they can be designated with a specific "DOI teacher" status in Cardonex Verify. This ensures that their unique certification status is properly recorded and recognized within the system.

Setting District Deadlines: Cardonex Verify allows you to set specific deadlines that align with the district's DOI policies. For example, if there are requirements related to the flexible certification process (e.g., timelines for professional development or other criteria), you can create deadlines that correspond to those requirements.

Attaching Relevant Documentation: As part of the DOI teacher designation, Cardonex Verify enables you to attach any necessary supporting documentation. This could include certification records, proof of training, or other materials that validate the teacher's compliance with the DOI rules.

This streamlined process helps districts manage teachers hired under flexible certifications while ensuring that they are in compliance with DOI guidelines, all within the Cardonex system. It also makes it easier to track deadlines and verify necessary documentation for these teachers.
Cardonex Verify handles ACP (Alternative Certification Program) certified teachers with a specific process that aligns with the teacher certification timeline and requirements:

Probationary Certificate Issued by SBEC: Once the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) issues a Probationary Certificate to an ACP teacher, Cardonex Verify will treat these teachers in the same manner as those with a Standard Certification. This means that once the probationary certificate is granted, their credentials can be fully verified, and their status will be managed like any other certified teacher in the system.

Tracking Documentation and Deadlines: For ACP teachers who are still in the process of earning their certification, you can upload and track any necessary documentation in Cardonex Verify. This can include things like proof of coursework, training, mentorship, and other requirements specific to the ACP. The system also allows you to set deadlines to ensure that the teacher is progressing through the certification process on time.

Final Verification Upon Full Certification: After the teacher completes the ACP and receives the Standard Certification, Cardonex Verify will automatically update their status and treat them as fully certified teachers, streamlining the verification process for your district.

In summary, Cardonex Verify supports ACP teachers by allowing you to mark them with an appropriate designation and track their certification progress until they receive their probationary certificate from SBEC. After that, their certification status is handled just like a teacher with a standard certificate.
