Each applicant for an Iowa license with a special education instructional

qualify for each special education instructional endorsement sought on an
original application for Iowa licensure if at the same grade level.

(2) Adding special education instructional endorsements to Iowa licenses.
a. After the issuance of a
practitioner license, an individual may add other special education
instructional endorsements to that license upon proper application provided
current requirements for the specific endorsement(s) have been met.
b. If an applicant is seeking to add a
special education instructional endorsement at the same level, elementary or
secondary, as other endorsements held, the student teaching component set out
in the rules for added endorsement areas is not required.
c. If the applicant holds the K-8 special
education endorsement for the 5-12 endorsement area being added, the applicant
may satisfy the requirements for the secondary methods class and the student
teaching experience by completing all the required coursework and presenting
verification of competence of teaching a minimum of two years while properly
licensed. This verification of competence shall be signed by a licensed
evaluator who has observed and formally evaluated the performance of the
applicant at the secondary level.
d. An updated license with expiration date
unchanged from the original or renewed license will be prepared. Licensure
procedures and requirements are set out in 282-Chapter 13.
