I know how you feel. I'd rather have you water board me than make me take a single credit hour with that particular institution.

Better a whipping then pay for 8 credit hour at SIUE. My cert is just a teachers cert for Special Ed. What is type 34?

I did hear some years ago that they were "thinking" of changing this requirement but I have had zero contact telling me that the requirement did change. Should I be worried? James E.

Believe me I paid through the teeth five years ago. BK On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 3:26 PM, Bill Kampmeyer <bk...@shi85.org> wrote: How does one become exempt now? Five years ago I was called on the carpet for not having continuing ed. I explained that "I filed for exemption status back in 2000. The local ROE explained that "no one who gets Il State Retirement is exempt. If you want to keep a certificate, also necessary I am for retirement, you must keep a continuing ed plan. If fact I was 'made an example of ' their words and required to get 8 college hours within one year or have my certificate (retirement) pulled. I was told that "no one is exempt (period)". That classification disappeared six years ago or so. BK On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 3:16 PM, JimHays <hay...@sages.us> wrote: Like Rickey, I am exempt.

My Supt. does not believe in ITEC or anything that takes me out of town during school hours so I cannot get any formal credits without college night classes. However like all TGs I am an autodidact.Just this month I spent about a day learning Big Blue Button, a FLOSS GoToMeeting/GoToAssist and will be rolling out this great new service any day now. I would have trouble fitting all of the things I have taught myself over the last five years on five single spaced pages but I have almost nothing formal I am turned down when I try to attend a Feast or anything of the kind. Is there any legal way for an autodidact to turn the continuing ed we must do ourselves to keep an ever expanding network current into ISBE recognized continuing ed? How do you good and clever folks fill out your ISBE continuing ed requirements? Thanks Gang!
