The State Superintendent will then review these documents and determine evidence of good character and rehabilitation in combination with the gravity of the offense, the individual’s age and background at the time of the offense, and any criminal penalty that was imposed.”.Davida BluhmDirector, Educational Career ServicesUniversity of Illinois@Urbana-Champaign.Fromhttp://blogs.edweek.org/topschooljobs/careers/2010/05/getting_a_teaching_job_with_a.html
