Abstract

This study is an update of an earlier nationwide survey of state certification standards for teachers of students with learning disabilities conducted in conjunction with the Standards and Ethics Committee of the Council for Learning Disabilities (Leigh & Patton, 1986). Information was received from every state department and the District of Columbia teacher certification office. Data were analyzed and tabulated to include: (a) certification categories (titles) and level(s); (b) teacher training requirements (i.e., courses, standards, and hours); (c) examination requirements for certification; and (d) other additional information. The results are discussed in the context of relevant issues and trends and the relationship to the findings of the previous study.
