Endorsements
To be certified to teach an assignment or act as an administrator or education specialist, certified educators must have the appropriate endorsement that meets state certification. An educator must request an endorsement be added to a certificate. This will not be automatically added after passing the state-designated test or completing the requirements of the endorsement.
According to ARSD 24:28:18:05, coursework required to add an endorsement must be completed within the 10 year period prior to the application.
