This document discusses New Jersey's alternate route to teacher certification, formerly called the Provisional Teacher Program, that enables school districts and nonpublic schools to employ non-education major college graduates as teachers. The program is now in its third year of operation. Part I of this report addresses program growth from various perspectives, including candidate interest and eligibility, the various characteristics of employed provisional teachers, and program utilization by the state's public and nonpublic schools. Part II focuses upon program implementation since September 1986. Information regarding employment patterns of provisional teachers, the qualitative characteristics of the 1987-88 group, and program completion and attrition among the 1986-87 group is presented, and the backgrounds and qualifications of the 1987 "Dodge Fellows"--exemplary provisional teachers who receive grants to pursue advanced study in their respective fields--are also described.
