Bill Summary

Establishes teacher certification route for candidates with Montessori teaching credentials.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a teacher certification route for candidates with Montessori teaching credentials. Specifically, it allows candidates who hold a Montessori teaching credential, a bachelor's degree, and meet the applicable test requirements to obtain a certificate of eligibility from the State Board of Examiners, which can then be used to obtain a provisional or standard instructional certificate without having to complete certain additional education requirements typically required for teacher certification. The bill also requires the Department of Education to conduct a study on this new certification route and for school boards to report annually on the number of teachers hired through this pathway.
