After completing the academic year-long Workplace Specialist I Teacher Training (from August to April), teachers will upload a single PDF document containing all pages of the official academic transcript for the highest degree earned in the IDOE LVIS system at time of license conversion (not before June) from a Workplace Specialist I (WSI) license to a Workplace Specialist II (WSII) license instead of uploading a TABE score sheet.
