Courses offered at USF do not meet requirements for the Early Childhood Special Education approval.
EEND 605 may be required if not previously completed during undergraduate or other graduate degree programs. Candidates may visit their local ROE or request assistance from the college/university where they believe the course was completed to determine if the course is still needed. USF is not able to determine if courses taken outside of the university meet ISBE requirements.
Educators are encouraged to review the Notice to Holders of Special Education Endorsements on ISBE’s Special Education Licensure page to learn about limitations that may apply to the LBS I credential.
Educators seeking preparation to serve students across multiple disabilities can visit the Teaching & Learning (M.S.) program page for information about the Special Education concentration or LBS I endorsement-only option.
