A 3983 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs State Board of Education to authorize general science endorsement.

This bill directs New Jersey's State Board of Education to create a new "general science" endorsement for teacher certifications. It allows certified teachers to teach biology, chemistry, earth science, physical science, or physics in grades 9-12 with this endorsement. Current teachers already certified in specific science subjects (like biology or chemistry) can apply to convert their existing endorsement to the new general science credential. The bill requires the State Board to establish the necessary requirements for this endorsement and takes effect immediately.
