​This Teacher Assignability Tool is an interactive tool that can be used by district and school administrators, regional offices of education/intermediate service centers, and educators to determine what credentials are generally associated with and required for a particular assignment. This tool reflects licensure credentials offered by ISBE pursuant to the current Illinois School Code and its associated parts of the Administrative Code.

Users will start by indicating if the assignment in question is for a teacher, a substitute teacher, paraprofessional, school support personnel, or administrator. Users will then be led through a wizard of questions before arriving at a final screen listing the licensure qualifications the educator generally must meet to serve in the position in question. After viewing the required qualifications​ , users can click on each credential to see requirements that must be met to earn it and click “View Credentials in ELIS” to see where these credentials will be listed in an educator’s ELIS account.

Disclaimer: This tool and the information provided are intended as helpful guides and do not replace the Illinois Administrative Code. School districts, Regional Offices of Education, educators, and related partners are responsible for ensuring legal compliance and should work together to review the Illinois School Code and all applicable regulations. Please note, this tool should only be used to determine one aspect of an individual’s qualifications: licensure. Other laws, rules, and requirements may set forth additional restrictions and qualifications. Employers reserve the right to set additional requirements beyond the minimum qualifications required in the School Code or regulations. Finally, this tool assists with identifying the license that is usually associated with a position; specific license requirements, however, will depend on the job description, grade level, and area to be taught.
