Illinois Certified Teacher

Just the other day I received my initial teaching license for the state of Illinois.  I was certified in Early Elementary and Elementary Education in Iowa, but when we moved to Illinois, I had to transfer my license.  After 9 long months, tons of paper work,  and 5 exhausting tests, in the different content areas of my license, I finally received my Illinois license.  I am now certified in the state of Illinois to teach Birth-9th grade!!!
