Bilingual Education / ESL

Endorsements

The State of Idaho has specific requirements for teachers, and they are different for English as a Second Language, and for Bilingual Education. The requirements are listed in the two documents below. Both documents are in Adobe PDF format.

Those desiring to add an endorsement for Bilingual Education or English as a Second Language to their teaching certificates must now take the English to Speakers of Other Languages Test # 0360. Please contact the Certification Department at the Idaho State Department of Education for more information.
