Credential Files

Credential files are maintained by our office through KnightVision and consist of:

1. Your personal data sheet.
2. Two or three recommendations:
• one employer
• one professor
• optional minister recommendation

You may have more if you wish—this is the minimum.

3. Your transcript and your final student teaching evaluations (both by your supervisor and cooperating teacher) are added to your file by our office.

Items for credential files should be submitted to edcareer@calvin.edu.

By submitting information for your credential file, you are agreeing that our office can distribute the information to prospective employers who request it.

Want your credential file sent to a school? Fill out the credential file request form.
