Certification Procedure
A nominee's principal and department head (or teaching supervisor) submit to the Manager letters of nomination with the Program's downloadable Instructor Certification Application form. The letters should discuss the nominee's teaching qualifications in detail and include evidence of the teacher's skill, based on first-hand evaluation and the record of student achievement. The teacher's professional résumé and a complete set of original transcripts (or certified copies from the school's files) should accompany the application. Favorable review of those materials leads to a certification interview at Storrs with the Departmental coordinator:

Dr. David Gross
Associate Deprtment Head for the Undergraduate Program
ECE Mathematics Coordinator
Telephone: (860) 486-1292
Facsimilie: (860) 486-4238
E-mail: David.Gross@UConn.edu

The interview explores the instructor's background and experience in more detail, as well as course content, student performance standards and mechanics of the program's operation. Following the interview, the Manager makes the final certification decision. The certification process normally requires several weeks, plus attendance at an ECE Program Orientation Workshop, which the interview with the Departmental Coordinator may accompany. For students to earn University credit in an ECE course, it must be taught by an instructor who certification is complete prior to the start of the course.

To maintain certification, teachers must participate in an annual re-certification workshop at the University at least biennially.

Student Enrollment
Once a school is part of the program, each year it determines which of its students qualify for ECE courses. The individual students are responsible for returning enrollment forms prior to the registration deadline established by the ECE Office.

An ECE course must:

• follow the current UConn course outline
• give examinations equivalent to the corresponding University course's
• assign grades that fully reflect University standards.

Core final-exam questions for calculus are provided by the University's Department of Mathmeatics.

Ordinarily, the high-school version of each course uses the same text and outline in use at Storrs, although the pace may be slower. Copies of recent midterm and final examinations are available to ECE instructors on line. Accessing those documents is explained as part of the certification process. Current outlines and other course materials are freely available at the Mathematics Department's web site.

Approved Textbooks
To assure full equivalence between ECE and corresponding UConn courses, any text other than those below and the accompanying outline from it must have the Departmental Coordinator's explicit written approval. To allow a thorough review, please submit any such text and outline well in advance of ordering deadlines.

Note: In all cases, the college/university edition of the text must be used, and in all cases the edition must be current (that is, must be in print). No text that is out of print as of May, 2011, remains on this current list of acceptable texts. When a text goes off the list, a school must replace it by a text on the current list within at most four years.
