NOTE: According to the Illinois State Board of Education, the Type 10 Technology Specialist certification can be an INITIAL certification for those who do not already possess a Type 03 or 09 teaching certificate. The candidates complete an approved program, pass the applicable Illinois tests, including the basic skills, content test, and K-12 APT and with the institution’s verification for entitlement, are eligible for an initial teaching certificate. The NLU TIE program is currently discussing how to modify our program to make it suitable as an initial certification. Please contact us in September for details.
