The Cooperating Teacher with whom you are placed for the special education component must have a Professional Educator License with State of Illinois LBS I endorsement and for the Early Childhood Special Education component the cooperating teacher must have a Professional Educator License (EC or LBS I) and a Letter of Approval for Early Childhood Special Education. Before you can commence to student teach, you must pass the State of Illinois content area tests for LBS I, Early Childhood Special Education and the General Curriculum Test. Candidates in the Early Childhood Option with ENDORSEMENT in Early Childhood are to do 8 weeks in either LD, BD (S/ED), EMH or cross-categorical classroom (LBS I) with primary age learners and 8 weeks in an inclusive early childhood classroom for ages 3-5 (not Head Start).

Post-Baccalaureate candidates who came here with B.S. degrees who have never taught and are in the process of completing our Special Education licensure program must student teach a minimum of 16 weeks. One 8 week experience in a H.S. setting (6-12) and one 8week experience in an Elementary setting (K-5). One of the two assignments must be with a resource teacher.

Before you can commence student teaching, you must pass the Illinois content area LBS I test and the General Curriculum Test. We will continue to process Admission to Teacher Education as we have been doing for the past several years. If each of you come to our office and tell the secretary that you are planning to student teach the next semester by Sept. 30 for Spring and Feb. 1 for Fall, we will then set into motion our final approval process and will return to you communication as to your departmental status as soon as we can after midterm. This process of completing your program should be a joint effort; thus we rely on good communication. We spend much time and effort getting you ready for student teaching and we deeply care about the integrity of our approved programs. Student Teaching is an exceedingly important part of this process. Lets do it right! If, when you receive your official assignments, you feel the parameters above have not been met please come see me immediately. NOTE: 1-5 can be 1-6 if grade 6 is in an elementary school.
