GUIDELINE DEFINITION
An individual receiving Provisional Instructional Related Supervisory or Instructional Related Administrative certification must meet the occupational experience that is required for certification for one of the following certification title codes:

Instructor 3.05 - (98)

Counselor 3.10 - (06)

http://systemattic.wtcsystem.edu/certification/cert/code/code3-10.htm

Librarian 3.11 - (08)

http://systemattic.wtcsystem.edu/certification/cert/code/code3-11.htm

Instructional Specialist 3.12 - (10)

http://systemattic.wtcsystem.edu/certification/code/code3-12.htm

Provisional certification requires two years of teaching experience or an allowable alternative. Individuals not having two years of teaching experience may use either two years of counseling or supervisory experience. This experience may not be counted twice as occupational experience.

EXAMPLE
Mary does not have any teaching experience, but she has served two years as a certified counselor in the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS). Her counseling experience will meet the requirement for two years of teaching experience when she is employed as an instructional related supervisor.

RATIONALE
The categories of Instructional Related Supervisor/Administrator were created to give additional opportunities to individuals. Flexibility exists with regard to this type of certification.
