                    Fall 2015

What is a PBA?

 PBA stands for “Performance Based Assessment"

  teacher education candidates. (Licensure is granted by the
  ISBE.)

Why are we here today?

 Learn about each of the PBA milestones
 Create an Educator Licensure Information System
  (ELIS) account that allows future educators to
  obtain an Illinois teaching license
 Make sure students are on track
 Make students aware of any changes
 Equip students with resources and websites to
  answer most questions
