Good-Bye, Type 75; Hello, Endorsements
On September 1, 2012 Illinois law closed the window for candidates seeking admission to schools in Illinois for the Type 75 Illinois Certification program. The State created a new endorsement entitled “principal endorsement” which has effectively replaced the Type 75 moving forward. On September 7, 2012 NEIU was approved by the Illinois State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board (SEPLB) to offer a program leading to the principal endorsement.
Dr. Howard Bultinck, Chair for the Department of Educational Leadership and Development recently wrote an article for the January/February 2013 Illinois School Board Journal that helps explain the current state of affairs with the principal endorsement. You may read it online at:
