Educator Certification, Recertification and Preparation

Previous Educator Qualifications

The ISBE Division of Certification has released information regarding adding subject qualifications for Illinois teachers who have met previous assignment requirements in the past but do not meet current endorsement requirements for specified subjects. A teacher who has met previous requirements for a subject at a time when the requirements were in effect is still qualified and may be assigned to that subject. Regional Offices of Education have the ability to enter these “past qualifications” on TCIS. Please note: this is a voluntary service that Regional Offices of Education may offer. Please see the following for more specific information:
