Subsequent Certification in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, or Special Education
About Subsequent Certification:
Teachers who hold an Illinois teaching certificate in early childhood education, elementary education, secondary education or special education may add certification in another certification area (early childhood, elementary, secondary or special education) through this standards-based sequence. Teachers who hold only a teaching certificate from another state or who hold only a temporary, substitute, or other specialized teaching certificate are not eligible for this program. Candidates for subsequent certification must be admitted to the graduate program for the certificate being sought.
Eligible candidates begin by completing 569 (in their new certification area), which includes the development of a college-approved electronic portfolio as a self-assessment of the extent to which they have met the state standards for certification. The portfolio will be reviewed by a faculty team from the new certification area and additional requirements for the certificate will be determined. Candidates then meet with an advisor from your new certification area to plan a personalized program. At the conclusion of this personalized program, candidates complete a practicum experience, 575 (in their new certification area) the extent of which is determined by the faculty team, taking into account candidates' previous experience and state standards. Upon conclusion of the practicum, candidates may apply for state certification in the new area.
