Section 282.19.8. Renewal of evaluator endorsement or license.

Coursework for renewal of the evaluator license or the license with the evaluator endorsement must complement the initial requirements. This coursework, approved by the Iowa department of education, must be completed for at least one semester hour of college or university credit or for at least one renewal unit from an approved Iowa staff development program.

       19.8(1) Child and dependent adult abuse training. All applicants renewing an evaluator license must submit documentation of completion of the child and dependent adult abuse training approved by the state abuse education review panel. A waiver of this requirement may apply if a person submits appropriate documentation of any of the following:

        a.           A person is engaged in active duty in the military service of this state or of the United States.

        b.           The application of this requirement would impose an undue hardship on the person for whom the waiver is requested.

        c.           A person is practicing a licensed profession outside this state.

        d.           A person is otherwise subject to circumstances that would preclude the person from satisfying the approved child and dependent adult abuse training in this state.

       19.8(2) Conversion. An individual holding the evaluator license may convert this license to an endorsement at the time of renewal. The fee for this conversion process will equal the fee for license renewal. The endorsement will be placed on the administrator or teaching license.
