Abstract	This booklet describes the New Jersey Provisional Teacher Program that enables local school districts to employ college graduates who did not study education courses in college. In order to qualify, a candidate must possess a degree in the subject he/she will teach and must pass a state certification test of subject knowledge. Further, the candidate must be offered employment in a school district which has been approved by the state for training provisional teachers and which has made a contractual commitment to provide the necessary training resources. During the first six weeks of employment, each provisional teacher receives 80 hours of formal instruction, and for the first month is assigned an experienced teacher who provides appropriate support. During the remainder of the first year of employment, the provisional teacher receives an additional 120 hours of instruction and is supervised and guided by a district support team through a schedule of observations and meetings. The formal instruction of provisional teachers conveys professional knowledge and skills identified by a panel of educational researchers as essential for beginning teachers. The successful candidate receives, at the recommendation of the school principal, a standard certificate at the end of the first year. (JD)
