AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to change the requirements for provisional educator certification and vocational-technical teacher training.

The bill also requires candidates to have a bachelor's degree and be of sound moral character. For vocational-technical teacher training, the bill establishes basic competency-based standards and requires candidates to pass performance and written tests or satisfy alternative measures of proficiency, as well as complete an approved seminar on teaching skills and methods.
