This is the part I am talking about. It does not specifically say they are endorsements, but I think she is implying it.

You can't teach special ed unless you are a special ed endorsed teacher around here. Plus, she mentions taking some World Literature classes at PSU, and renewing her certificate. Why doesn't she mention her masters degree? Probably because she never really finished it. IMO>
ETA: I think I missed what you were asking. By
endorsement, I mean certification. Teachers have to be
endorsed on certain subjects, meaning they took additional education and testing to prove they are qualified in order to be specialists. Is that what you were asking about?
