The Iowa Department of Education has two levels of endorsement:
K-6 and 7-12. In the special fields of art, music, and physical
education it is common to obtain both levels of license. This
can be completed within one semester of student teaching—seven
weeks at each level.
In other endorsement areas, if a student wishes to obtain licensure
at both levels, an additional seven weeks of student teaching
is likely to be required. (For example, K-12 P.E. plus 7-12 Biology;
or K-6 Classroom plus K-12 Art; or K-6 Classroom plus any 7-12
subject area)
Students who are seeking multiple 7-12 endorsement areas can
generally complete the student teaching experience in 14 weeks.
