ARSD 24:28:16:06. Adding preparations and endorsements to a valid out-of-state educator certificate

If the applicant for reciprocal certification has a valid out-of-state certificate, preparations and endorsements may be added to the educator certificate based on a review of the out-of-state certificate and the equivalent South Dakota preparation programs and endorsements. If an applicant for reciprocal certification has a categorical special education endorsement, the applicant must pass the state-designated content test to receive a K-12 special education endorsement. If an applicant for reciprocal certification has a K-8 special education endorsement, the applicant must have a minimum of one year of teaching experience as a secondary teacher or pass the state-designated pedagogy test for the secondary level to receive a K-12 special education endorsement.
