Teacher Licensure

Recently, there has been much discussion related to the future of Middle Grades Teacher Licensure in the state of Illinois.

At the AIMS Summer Splash on June 15, Lori Ladesic of the DuPage County Regional Office of Education provided a presentation session on the topic for those in attendance.

Lori has provided an Illinois State Board of Education document which explains the future of Illinois Middle Grade licensure. The document contains scenarios that can help provide answers to commonly asked questions.

We hope you will find this a helpful reference tool!
