HF 2421: Relating to education, including requirements related to teacher intern license programs and licenses and authorizations issued by the board of educational examiners

What it does

This bill relates to education, including requirements related to teacher intern license programs and licenses and authorizations issued by the board of educational examiners (BOEE). The bill provides that if a higher education institution providing practitioner preparation offers a program that is designed to assist students in attaining a teacher intern license from the BOEE, the program shall require participants to satisfy certain specified requirements. Current law requires the BOEE to adopt rules to provide for nontraditional preparation options for licensing persons who hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and who do not meet other requirements for licensure.
