Educator Certification, Recertification and Preparation

     

Approved Sources for Foreign Credential Evaluations

If you have foreign credentials, you will need to obtain an evaluation of them that converts the foreign educational credentials to equivalent American semester credits and courses. The evaluation will need to specify the grade level for which you prepared as a teacher. It will also need to indicate the American degree equivalence of your foreign credentials.

We will require the original foreign credential evaluation report and copies of your foreign documents made from the originals by your regional superintendent. The following organizations have met the requirements of the Illinois Administrative Code to qualify as evaluation sources.
