AI Summary
This bill eliminates taking or passing the edTPA (evidence-based assessment of teaching effectiveness) as a prerequisite for residency teacher state certification in Washington. It requires teacher preparation programs to recommend for certification those who met all other requirements during the 2019-20 to 2021-22 academic years, even if they did not pass the edTPA. The bill also prohibits the Washington Professional Educator Standards Board from adopting rules requiring the edTPA for residency teacher certification, and it makes other changes to the teacher certification process, such as allowing the use of multiple measures to evaluate teacher candidates.
