Re: Requirements to teach in school districts
|
Hi Trina and Nancy, Many states require a license through their department of education. I am in Wisconsin, and we require this. The details for obtaining a license for those who require one, vary and may include having a COMS. For current requirements, check with the department of education for the state you are interested in. Several years ago, we investigated the requirements for O&M requirements for those who for with school-aged students, but have not updated this information. What we learned is that requirements vary quite a bit. Please let me know if you have other?questions.

Some states have required state registration and some states require that you are also a TVI and an O&M to teach in the school systems. Some states require ACVREP certification but many do not. Some private agencies or school systems require ACVREP certification. It is definitely considered a best practice to require and or have?ACVREP certification. Localities or cities may have their own requirements.?
