I currently have an LBS 1 and teach in an early childhood special education classroom. Does anyone know what type and/or how many classes I would need to take to also be qualified to teach regular ed preschool?

Has anyone taken the three LBS1 special education endorsement classes with Univ of Phoenix online. If so, are there any clinical hours involved and how many? I am sure there must be although I cant find that information in the course descriptions online. Thank you!

Yes but its been awhile. When I took them, I had to take more than 3 classes. Illinois wants a cross-cat characteristics course, so I had to take Characteristics of LD and Characteristics of MR to qualify. Only one Characteristics course wouldn't work according to ISBE. The Special Ed Methods and Assessment courses were good, so I had to take a total of 4 courses. I already had the intro to special ed done through my regular teaching degree. It was still cheaper doing University of Phoenix's four classes through their continuing education program than doing something with a local university in IL. Plus, the courses are only 6 weeks and they breeze by.
University of Phoenix might have changed their course offerings and now have a cross-cat general special ed it would make it a lot easier.
There weren't formal clinical hours, but there were assignments that required me to work with students or observe students in the classroom. If you already work in a school, this becomes very easy to do if you can arrange it with your boss. You take the same courses that people going through a Masters degree take, and they have clinical hours. In some cases, this is their initial certification program. However, if you do it through continuing ed, this doesn't apply to you, but again, you will need access to special ed students for various projects in the class.

A parent came in today asking about a referral for a 19 year old. What is the age limit for starting an initial IEP for a student? I thought it was before 18th birthday.
