N.J.A.C. 6A:9A, New Jersey Educator Preparation Programs
This motion was passed on December 3, 2025. The CS endorsement only applies to teachers of Grades 9-12.
Subchapter 9. Instructional Endorsements
N.J.A.C. 6A:9B-9.2 Authorizations – general
This section provides the grades or subject(s) that each endorsement authorizes the holder to teach. The Department amended N.J.A.C. 6A:9B-9.2(a)7 to state that, after July 1, 2027, a teacher of computer science in grades nine through 12 must hold the computer science endorsement, instead of the existing preschool through grade 12.
The passed amendment will align the paragraph with N.J.S.A. 18A:26-2.26, which requires teachers to hold the computer science education endorsement to teach computer science in grades nine through 12.
Watch the recording fast forward to 2:33:00 for certification. Stay on for the proposed standards revisions.
CS education: good for our students, good for our state
