The license of teachers holding the old Early Childhood Special Education PK-PK or PK-3 will convert to the new Early Childhood Instructional Specialist (P-4). When these changes have been made in the licensure database, a new license reflecting the conversion will be mailed to each teacher.

This conversion will allow teachers previously holding the old license, to be employed as an early childhood special education teacher at the preschool through fourth grade levels.

Teachers holding the new Early Childhood Instructional Specialist (P-4)license, can add the new Special Education Instructional Specialist license (4-12), by completing the program of study and required Praxis assessment. Teachers can also add the regular Early Childhood (P-4) by passing the required Praxis assessment for that area.
