Will the institutions of higher education (IHE’s) be phasing out the Level II Education Specialist Credential programs?It is the decision of the IHE to elect to offer the Level II program. The adopted Preconditions in prior regulations required that if a program sponsor offers a Level I program then the sponsor MUST offer the Level II program until the sunset date of the program. Since the last date to enroll into the Level I program has passed, IHE’s are no longer required to offer the Level II program.
Please keep in mind that IHE’s must keep their Level II programs available for currently enrolled candidates. Level II programs will be phased out as the Level I candidates complete the work towards the Level II Credential.
