What’s in it

AI summary Teachers looking to renew their licenses could earn up to half of their required credits through a personalized professional development plan. They can also get these credits by finishing approved courses from specific programs or educational agencies. This change gives educators more ways to meet the requirements set by the board of educational examiners.1

Read the official explanation

This bill requires that rules adopted by the board of educational examiners which establish licensure renewal requirements must provide that up to half of the units needed for licensure renewal may be earned by successfully completing an individualized professional development plan as verified by the supervising licensed evaluator, or by successfully completing professional development courses or programs offered by a professional development program licensed by the board, or by a practitioner preparation institution or area education agency approved by the state board of education.
