Applicant would need to work with National Louis University enrollment specialists in order to determine the proper courses required (for a maximum of two) for the Fall of 2018.

  • Teach as a Special Education Teacher in USD #116 after completion of the LBSI endorsement for a total of three additional years.

If accepted for this position, university fees for all four courses at National Louis (or equivalent program) will be covered by USD #116. An agreement to teach in Special Education at USD #116 first as a Long-Term Substitute and then under the Short-Term Approval and for a period of three years following the full LBSI endorsement must be signed. More details about course fee coverage and the agreement to teach in Special Education will be provided upon hire.
