I have a current Illinois elementary (Type 03/Type 04) and would like to obtain a K-12 Library Information Specialist (Type 10) Certificate. Is this possible?
No, the Illinois State Board of Education does not have a provision for teachers holding Type 03 or Type 04 certificates to obtain a Type 10. The only option is to apply to the K-12 LIS Certification Program as a degree-seeking student. Certification candidates will have to meet all of the requirements of the program, which includes a 100-hour practicum, two student teaching placements in school libraries and the electronic CoTE Assessment Portfolio.
