New Grade Requirements – Illinois State Board of Education – All Teacher Certification Candidates

For all those students wishing to obtain a teaching credential in the state of Illinois, a grade of C or above is compulsory for all coursework that is required for the teaching credential.  This would include courses in your major, all education courses, and required general electives.  (Effective 2012, Illinois State Board of Education)

IMPORTANT UPDATE RE: ILLINOIS TEST OF BASIC SKILLS

 

FYI-

IBHE Update

Illinois Test of Basic Skills – Minimum score requirements for the Illinois Test of Basic Skills will be raised September 2010, making the test more rigorous and geared at a college sophomore level. Beginning January 2010, no individual may attempt to pass the same test more than five times.  Any previous test attempts for the same test made prior to January 12, 2010 do not count toward the five-time limit.  Students can retake portions of the basic skills test (subtests) as needed; however, each test date counts as one of the five total attempts allowed.
