New Jersey Physical Science Add-On Endorsement
Physical Science Add-On Endorsement
This program is approved by the New Jersey Department of Education and provides all the required instruction in both content and teaching methods so that currently certified New Jersey chemistry and physics teachers can add-on an endorsement to teach physical science.
This program is designed for teachers who already have either a physics or chemistry endorsement and who would like to teach both subjects. If you have neither of these endorsements, you should first complete a Physics Endorsement or Chemistry Endorsement and then revisit this page.
