clear instructions how to access the teach online system. I initially, had a
hard time logging on, since I could not remember my user name and password. I
managed to get through the help desk, where a patient person provided me with
this information. I will apply online for the reissuance of my initial license
as well as my professional certification as teacher of the blind. I have two
questions for this list. How long does it take to receive a reissuance of one's
initial license or a professional certification? When speaking to the person at
the help desk, I was told it takes 8-12 weeks for professional license to be
issued but the person was unsure about how long the reissuance of my initial
certification as a teacher of the blind would take. Secondly, until I receive
the appropriate license, can I still teach with my license that I hold? My
expiration date is in January 2012? </SPAN><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
