HB 1770: Teacher certification

Changing explicit alternative routes to teacher certification program requirements to expectations for program outcomes.

Summary

  • Repeals the statute that describes the design of each of the Alternative Route programs in detail, and instead provides the Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) with expected outcomes for Alternative Route programs and rulemaking authority with respect to program design.
  • Requires a report from the PESB with respect to the Alternative Route programs on December 1, 2016, and every two years thereafter, and specifies the data that the report must include.
