If I am already a certified teacher in a non-special education area, is it necessary to complete internships in special education?
If a teacher is licensed in a content area, such as chemistry, he/she still has to do internships with the population for which endorsement is sought. It could be that the chemistry teacher has students with disabilities in his/her chemistry class and thus could complete an on-the-job internship for one level.
