What it does
This bill relates to practitioner preparation programs, including the duration of the student teaching experience. Current law provides that all higher education institutions providing practitioner preparation are to require students admitted to the higher education institution’s practitioner preparation program to participate in a student teaching experience for a minimum of weeks during the student’s final year of the program. The bill requires the higher education institutions providing these programs to reduce the duration of the student teaching experience for certain specified students who have worked as substitute teachers by the amount of weeks the students worked as substitute teachers.
