Certification Advisors also serve in an advocacy role with local church sessions and, occasionally, with the presbytery.
Educator Certification Handbook
The Educator Certification Handbook provides the standards and specific steps of the certification process as designated by the Educator Certification Committee. Designed for use by the Educator Certification Advisors appointed by presbyteries to support educators through the process, it is available here.
