[aisle] Library Endorsement? ISBE requirements?

[Hamerly, Donald]

Hi, Stacie. Thanks for the question. I had to refer it to our licensure officer, who responded with the following:

It was 2017….

Don,

I'm curious about the LIS endorsement. My licence shows K-12, and does not include PreK. Are there a special class/test to increase the range? I only ask because I do service PreK students in the Library. I've never seen it as an issue, but other specials teachers in my school have complained about seeing PreK students because they are not certified at that grade level.

Now (as of this writing), ISBE requires 18 course hours and a passing score on the LIS content test for the PK-12 LIS endorsement.

Hello, all,

ISBE has changed their website a few times since I earned my endorsement.  What are the requirements to add the endorsement?  A certain number of classes?  Take the test?  What about the various grade levels?  (We are a K-12 district.)

Thanks in advance for any and all information!

Annette
