NJ TOSD Add-On Endorsement
Teacher of Students with Disabilities Add-On Endorsement
This 24-credit Add-On Endorsement program is approved by the New Jersey Department of Education to provide all the required instruction so that currently certified New Jersey teachers can add a Teacher of Students with Disabilities (TOSD) endorsement.
Upon being accepted into the program, candidates begin the eight-course sequence while applying to the DOE for a TOSD Certificate of Eligibility (CE). That CE can be used to get a provisional certificate from their district while they complete their coursework for their Add-On Endorsement.
All courses are 100% online, asynchronous, and self paced. Candidates can start anytime and finish at their own pace, though the full program should be completed in under two years.
