I heard that there's a way to be a SPED teacher or a Resource Room Teacher without taking PRAXIS or CBEST exams as long as you have a year of experience and a professional license as a teacher in your home country. Could anyone clear this up for me?

Licensing options have changed dramatically in my state with the arrival of No Child Left Behind...which includes the mandate of a highly qualified teacher in each classroom. This is an excellent time of year to look for a position, if your bags are packed. If you have a state or school district in mind, I would suggest contacting them directly. Each state, and in some cases, each school district has different licensing programs/options for you since licensing is handled at the state level.
Best wishes!

I would check with your state's department of education, or the specific district that you are interested in. I know that things have changed a lot in my own area due to the desire to have Highly Qualified teachers.

Last I checked you still have to take a test in the state in which you are going to teach.
