NYSTCE Assessment of Teaching Skills—Performance

• View 2012–2013 Registration and Submission Schedule

REGISTRATION AND SUBMISSION SCHEDULE

The ATS–P is not "administered" on specific dates. Rather, candidates register, complete the assessment on their own, and then submit the assessment for scoring. The ATS–P schedule is based on submission deadlines: dates by which completed assessments must be received in order for candidates to be mailed their score reports on the corresponding score report date. There are two submission deadlines in the 2011–2012 program year, as indicated in the schedule below.

Registration Deadline	Submission Deadline	Score Report Date
September 30, 2011	November 4, 2011	December 16, 2011
May 11, 2012	June 8, 2012	August 3, 2012
Internet Registration To register on the Internet, your registration must be completed by 5:00 p.m. eastern time on the registration deadline corresponding to the submission deadline for which you wish to register.
U.S. Mail Registration To register by mail, your registration materials must be postmarked by the registration deadline corresponding to the submission deadline for which you wish to register.

Registration

ATS–P registrations are accepted online and by mail.* Registrations submitted by the first or second registration deadline are valid until the final submission deadline of the program year. For your score report to be mailed on a scheduled score report date, you must meet the following two requirements:

• You must be registered for the ATS–P.
• Your video recording and related documentation must be received by the submission deadline corresponding to that score report date.

*Please note that if you are registering for the ATS–P for the second time in the same program year, you must register by U.S. mail. The registration form for U.S. mail registration can be ordered by selecting "Print Bulletin and Forms (PDF)" on the NYSTCE Web site.

Preparing Materials

Approximately two weeks after you register, Evaluation Systems will send you a packet of materials for the ATS–P, including the ATS–P Procedures Manual. If you have not received these materials within three weeks of submitting your registration, call Evaluation Systems to check on your registration status.

The ATS–P Procedures Manual includes specific instructions and requirements for completing the ATS–P. Read the manual carefully and adhere to the procedures and policies for preparing your video recording for submission. Submitted materials that do not conform to the policies and procedures in the ATS–P Procedures Manual will receive a rating of "Requirements Not Met" and no refund or credit will be issued.

Submitting Materials

You should submit your video recording and related documentation so that these materials are received by the submission deadline corresponding to your desired score report date. Although you may register for a specific submission deadline, your registration will be valid until, and you may submit you video recording any time up to, the final submission deadline of the program year for which you are registered. Submissions will be scored during the scoring session corresponding to the submission deadline by which materials were received. You should make a copy of your video recording to retain for your records. Your submitted video recording will not be returned to you.

Candidates who do not submit their materials by the final submission deadline of the program year for which they are registered will no longer be registered for the ATS–P and will not receive a refund or credit of any kind unless they have submitted a correctly completed Withdrawal/Refund Request Form that is received by Evaluation Systems by the final submission deadline of the program year.

Any ATS–P submission received by Evaluation Systems after the final submission deadline of the program year will not be scored and will be returned to the candidate.
