Who is eligible to get a teaching certificate in
Kentucky? The following are the general
requirements for a teaching certificate in Kentucky:
- the candidate must complete an approved
preparation program;
- the candidate must pass written tests set by
the EPSB for the certificate area; and
- the candidate must complete an internship
year during the first year of employment as a
teacher after completing the preparation
program.
In Kentucky, approved LBD preparation
programs must follow the Council for Exceptional
Children’s Individualized General Curriculum
standards for special educators, referred to as the
CEC standards. These standards are what special
educators as LBD teachers must know and be able to
do. Specifically for LBD, Kentucky candidates must
pass two Praxis tests which are based on the CEC
standards (http://www.ets.org):
- Education of Exceptional Children: Core
Knowledge (#0353). Kentucky passing score of
157; and
- Education of Exceptional Children: Mild to
Moderate (#0542). Kentucky passing score of 172.
