In the linked article, Barbara Blackburn writes:

"I hear many people talk about tolerance and how we must learn to be tolerant toward those who are different from us. When we tolerate something, we put up with it temporarily until it is gone.

Illinois to Iowa certificate

Oct 8, 2014

I am thinking of moving to Iowa in order to find work. I have a Type 03 Illinois license with middle school endorsements. Has anyone gone through the process of obtaining Iowa license from Illinois. I have heard it is difficult and they (Iowa) require additional classes.
