Bill > HB416

This bill modifies the requirements for educator certification in Kentucky by removing the Education Professional Standards Board's (EPSB) ability to mandate minimum scores on certain assessments for applicants. Instead, it requires candidates to submit proof of completing a formative basic skills assessment at the time of their initial application and the results of that assessment before their first day of attendance, with postsecondary institutions expected to provide academic support based on these results. Additionally, the bill mandates that the EPSB must narrowly tailor content assessments to the specific subject area for which an applicant is seeking certification, ensuring these assessments focus on academic achievement and competency in that content and the necessary pedagogical knowledge for effective instruction.
