Every student deserves a teacher who can fully devote themselves to making sure their educational needs are met. This principle holds especially true for special needs students , who generally require a bit more attention and hands-on education. By training to become a general curriculum special education teacher, you will effectively become a professional that can help your students on a broad scale, allowing you to benefit countless lives by guiding them along the path to success.
Before you can officially begin teaching in the special education field, the state of Illinois requires you to fulfill one last step: earning a passing score on the ILTS Special Education General Curriculum exam.
There are many factors involved in teaching in this particular field. The Illinoisan government wants to be sure you have them all down pat, so you can help your students effectively.
Compared to other ILTS exams, the ILTS Special Education General Curriculum test is quite different in its formatting. More specifically, it is much shorter than average.
You will be provided with a total of two hours and 45 minutes—one hour less than the norm—to finish 65 questions. The entire exam still uses a multiple choice format.
Each question featured on the exam falls under one of the four core subjects:
- Social Sciences
- Reading and Literacy,
- Natural Sciences
- Mathematics
