Bill Summary
Repealing a provision of law that requires a teacher preparation program to require a student to pass a certain assessment as a graduation requirement; altering the requirements for initial teacher certification; authorizing a local school system to establish a comprehensive induction program to aid in meeting a certain requirement for initial teacher certification; altering the qualification requirements for a teacher who holds a professional license or certificate from another state; etc.
AI Summary
This bill repeals the requirement for teacher preparation programs to have students pass a certain assessment as a graduation requirement. It alters the requirements for initial teacher certification, allowing a local school system to establish a comprehensive induction program as an alternative to passing a nationally recognized, portfolio-based assessment of teaching ability. The bill also changes the qualification requirements for teachers who hold a professional license or certificate from another state, allowing them to either hold an active National Board Certification or complete a comprehensive induction program in the state. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Education to actively monitor and assess any negative impact of the new teacher standards and assessments on the diversity of teacher candidates passing the initial certification assessments.
