AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to establish a Paraprofessional-to-Teacher Certification Program and a Paraprofessional-to-Teacher Grant Program. The Certification Program aims to help paraprofessionals, who are instructional assistants in schools, to obtain teacher certification by providing guidance to institutions of higher education on designing comprehensive programs that allow paraprofessionals to earn college credits and use their classroom experience towards student teaching requirements. The Grant Program provides funding for institutions of higher education to develop these paraprofessional-to-teacher certification programs, including offering discounted tuition rates to participants.
