The good news is that you MAY already have it!
To see if you have any existing credits that count towards SIQ, follow the following steps:
1) First, email employment.records@k12.hi.us and ask for a copy of your transcripts.
2) Then fill out the attached "Sheltered Instruction Cover Sheet" and send that as well as your transcripts to: 523otmhqt@k12.hi.us
and say you are "submitting a request to look over your transcripts to see if you have the sheltered instruction qualification."
From there, you will be able to see how many credits you currently have and how many credits/hours you will need that meet the SIQ requirements.
If you find you need more credit/hours, reach out to your school's Admin, EL coordinator, or mentor to see if there are any sessions that you can take!
