Re: Certification question
Posted by Teacher on 9/09/08
I don't know much about Rules 2002, but I do hold a 46-47 and
I wouldn't get too psyched on thinking a test will renew your
license. I would seriously have her ask, ask, ask on that.
Something just doesn't seem right about this for a renewal.
Every time I have needed to renew my 46-47, it has been
classes (I never wanted to professionalize here for various
reasons). However, I will say that adding endorsements once
you have your initial credentials is easy on a rules 46-47. I
added three areas over the years in addition to the areas I
graduated with so I could do some more courses in my high
school. Often they can double dip here, you can do an
addition and renewal if you time things right too.
Here's the FAQ from the IPSB on license renewal

Good luck
