Recent Licensure Updates - Mar2017 New requirement for teachers who have an administrative endorsement but are not currently using it *Law went into effect July 1, 2014* If you have any general administrative endorsement (supervisory endorsement, lead teacher endorsement, general admin endorsement, and principal endorsement) on your license but do not use the endorsement during the five year cycle, you will be required to complete one administrative academy course during your five year renewal cycle. This goes into effect when you have renewed your license under the new law. This currently affects only those that have renewed as of July 2014, July 2015, and July 2016. If you are up to renew in 2017 or 2018, you will have five years from that date to complete this requirement. The ROE is currently working on hosting administrative academies specifically for those teachers that would qualify. Since this will affect many teachers, we hope to offer these academies in the summer or in the evening. Remember, the earliest this should affect someone will be those renewing in July 2019.

ISBE is now offering retired teachers an opportunity to reinstate their license with no penalty through December 31, 2017 (Posted July 2017) If you are retired, and your professional educator license lapsed due to failure to renew, you may reinstate that license without penalty by providing proof of retirement from a state retirement system to the State Board of Education. You must submit a copy of a letter from a state retirement system (on official agency letterhead) confirming your retirement. Your name, IEIN, and date of birth must be included with the letter. Upon verification that you are not working in a position requiring a professional educator license, ISBE will reinstate your license. The verification letter will be used in lieu of a $500 penalty fee or 9 semester hours of coursework. You will not need to enter any professional development owed or pay any license registration fees. Letters may be emailed to renewal@isbe.net or mailed to the Illinois State Board of Education at: Educator Effectiveness Division 100 North First Street Springfield, IL, 62777 Educator Effectiveness Division Illinois State Board of Education ISBE Educator Licensure: Retired Educators
