SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Teacher licensure by reciprocity. Provides for teacher licensure by reciprocity for an individual who has completed a state-approved teacher training program through a regionally accredited four-year college or university and who has obtained a valid out-of-state license that is in force at the time the application for a Virginia license is made. The individual must establish a file in the Department of Education by submitting a complete application packet, which shall include official student transcripts. No professional teacher's assessment or service requirements shall be imposed for these licensed individuals.
Current Board of Education regulations (8VAC20-21-90) require a professional teacher's assessment (PRAXIS) for out-of-state applicants who (i) have completed a state-approved teacher training program through a regionally accredited four-year college or university, or (ii) hold a valid out-of-state teaching license in force at the time the license application is made. These persons must also provide student transcripts.
