HB 473 Teacher licensure by reciprocity.
Introduced by: Kristen J. Amundson | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Teacher licensure by reciprocity. Directs the Board of Education to provide for licensure by reciprocity for individuals holding a valid out-of-state teaching license and national certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) or a nationally recognized certification program approved by the Board of Education. The application for such individuals is to require evidence of such valid licensure and national certification, and shall not require official student transcripts. Current licensure regulations require individuals holding valid out-of-state licenses and seeking reciprocity in Virginia to include official student transcripts in the application process. According to Quality Counts '99, a publication of Education Week, 14 states, including North Carolina and Florida, provide license portability for out-of-state teachers having NBPTS certification. The 1999 Session of the General Assembly established the National Teacher Certification Incentive Reward Program and Fund to award incentive grants to public school teachers obtaining national certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
