SB 949 Teachers; licensure.
Introduced by: H. Russell Potts, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Teacher licensure by reciprocity. Provides for teacher licensure by reciprocity for an individual 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 (8 VAC 20-21-90) 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.
