| NV | Issued 05/2012 | P-12 | Every professional licensing board organized pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statues is ordered to:
Facilitate endorsement of a current license from another state as long as the requirements for licensure in that jurisdiction are substantially equivalent to the requirements in Nevada; and
Where possible, provide for a temporary or provisional license allowing a military spouse to practice while fulfilling requirements needed to qualify for endorsement in this state, or while awaiting verification of documentation supporting such an endorsement; and
Expedite application procedures for a military spouse, including where possible the approval of a license based on an affidavit from the applicant that the information provided on the application is true and that verifying documentation has been requested.
In the case that statutory requirements prohibit any of the actions above, the executive director or chairman of a professional licensing board shall inform the Governor's office in writing of the suggested statutory changes to make reciprocity for military spouse licensure an efficient and practical reality. http://gov.nv.gov/news/item/4294973520/

| IL | Adopted 10/2011 | P-12 | From administrative register: In 2006, the state board established for the first time requirements for administrators of bilingual education programs. These rules required such administrators to have the appropriate administrative certification and hold one of several endorsements or approvals required of bilingual education teachers, with the specific endorsement or approval dependent on whether the program offered was a transitional bilingual education program (TBE) or a transitional program of instruction (TPI). It has become clear that a significant number of districts have been unable to find individuals to serve in administrative positions who have the proper bilingual endorsement or approval. The previous requirements have been particularly troubling for school districts with transitional bilingual education programs, wherein instruction is provided to students in their native language while they are learning English. Under those requirements, an administrator of a TBE program was required to hold either the bilingual endorsement or approval or the English as a new language endorsement with a language designation. Both of these endorsements require passage of a language examination to demonstrate proficiency in a second language.
New Section 1.783 offers, as an alternative to obtaining an endorsement or approval, the option for an administrator to complete coursework specific to bilingual education. Pages 589 and 597-599: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/index/register/register_volume35_issue42.pdf

| IL | Signed into law 08/2011 | P-12 | Effective June 30, 2012, repeals 105 ILCS 5/21-1a on teacher certification exams. Effective June 30, 2013, repeals statutory provisions on (1) teacher certification, qualifications and issuance of certificates; (2) subject endorsement on teacher certificates; (3) grades of certificates; (4) early childhood certificates; (5) required instruction for all teachers; (6) elementary, special and high school certificates; (7) alternative certification and alternative routes to teacher certification; (8) administrative certification and alternative routes to administrator certification; (9) teacher leader endorsements; (10) principal preparation programs; (11) substitute certificates and substitute teaching; (12) provisional certificates; (13) recognition of certification of teachers from out of state; (14) additional certificates for experienced employed teachers; (15) resident teacher certificates; (16) 105 ILCS 5/21-12 related to printing, seal, signature, credentials for teacher certificates; (17) annual registration fees for certificates; (18) school service personnel certificates; (19) the Illinois Teaching Excellence Program (however, this program is reauthorized in the new Article 21B).
Effective September 2013, repeals statutory provisions related to the Illinois Teacher Corps.
Creates new Article 21B, "Educator Licensure". As summarized in http://www.ift-aft.org/News/DailyNews/11-06-06/Changes_in_Educator_Licensing_Pass_in_SB_1799.aspx:
--Renames the State Teacher Certification Board as the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board
--Changes the name of the certificate to the Illinois Professional Educator License. Qualified educators will be issued a professional educator license endorsed in each area and grade level for which they are eligible to seek employment in teaching, administration or school service. Each license will be valid for 5 years.
--Streamlines the 66 types of available certificates to 3 types of licenses: the Illinois Professional Educator License, the Professional Educator License with Stipulations and the Substitute Teaching License.. Each will be endorsed in specific content and grade areas. This change will make it easy for each license holder to track his/her qualifications as all endorsements will be on a single license rather than multiple certificates.
--All certificates renewing after July 2012 will be exchanged for Illinois licenses. Hard copy licenses will not be issued but the new credentials can be accessed and printed from the Educator Certification System online.
--The three license system (Initial, Standard, Master certificates) will be eliminated.
--Individuals holding National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification will get a National Board for Professional Teaching Standards designation on an existing Professional Educator License. Certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards does not automatically allow an individual to teach in the area for which he/she received NBPTS certification unless the individual also has the appropriate Illinois endorsement. The designation is issued for the same validity period (10 years) as the NBPTS certification. If an individual does not renew his/her NBPTS certification, the designation will be removed from the Professional Educator License.
--New fee structure effective January 2012 for applications for license (for in-state and out-of-state educators), additional endorsements/approvals, and registration per year.
--Effective September 2014, the general administrative endorsement will not be issued. Until July 2015, an individual may convert to a principal endorsement if he/she served at least 1 full year during the last 5 years in a position requiring a general administrative endorsement.
--Substitute teacher licenses are valid for 5 years and may be renewed if the individual has passed a test of basic skills. However, if an individual has had his/her Professional Educator License or Educator License with Stipulations suspended or revoked or has not met the renewal requirements for licensure, the individual is not eligible to obtain a Substitute Teaching License.
--The Paraprofessional educator endorsement will be on the Professional Educator License and renewable every 5 years. Renewal requirements have not yet been determined. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/97/PDF/097-0607.pdf

| IL | Adopted 07/2007 | P-12 | From description in Illinois Register:
This rulemaking presents proposed requirements for two new certification-related initiatives that were established in 2006 by P.A. 94-1039: a teacher leader endorsement and an alternative route to administrative certification. Proposed new Section 25.30 (pages 115-118 of 201 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/index/register/register_volume31_issue30.pdf) sets forth requirements for the teacher leader endorsement. The statute establishes three somewhat different sets of qualifications leading to this endorsement, two of which rely on completion of a "specially designed strand of teacher leadership courses" in combination with other requirements. This rule defines the strand of coursework and identifies who will be considered a "proven teacher leader".
Proposed new Section 25.314 (pages 119-120 of 201 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/index/register/register_volume31_issue30.pdf) implements Section 21-5e of the School Code, which identifies individuals eligible to complete an alternate route to administrative certification. This route calls only for completion of 15 semester hours aimed at certain administrative competencies. The statute contemplates taking into consideration the coursework individuals will already have completed, so the rule calls for the 15 semester hours to focus on the management-related aspects of the Illinois Professional Teaching Standards and on selected others applicable to the general administrative endorsement. Several of the other provisions of the new rule are similar to those used in Section 25.313, an older "alternative route" rule. The revision to Section 25.335 (pages 120-121 of 201) is related to both of these, in that it acknowledges the exceptions to the general rule that are incorporated in the two different alternative routes.
The revision to Section 25.85 (pages 118-119 of 201) will make endorsements in certain foreign languages (generally candidates' native languages) available on a streamlined basis to individuals who were prepared as teachers outside Illinois and could have received those endorsements when they originally received Illinois certificates. It has become clear that some foreign applicants are not aware of this provision when they originally apply, and it makes more sense for them to have continued access to the language endorsement on the basis of Section 25.86 even after they have attained Illinois certification in some other field rather than to fall under Section 25.85.
Changes in Section 25.750 (Conditions of Testing, pages 123-127 of 201)) establish a new requirement for thumb-printing of individuals taking certification tests. Important goals of this rule are to provide a deterrent to the method of cheating that involves test-taking by someone other than the candidate for certification and to decrease the reliance on handwriting analysis in cases where there is doubt as to the identity of the individual taking a test.
