SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

Licensure of teachers. Directs the Board of Education to review passing scores for the professional teacher's examination required for initial licensure and authorizes the Board to make modifications to passing scores including providing for composite scoring. Currently, applicants for initial licensure must pass the Praxis I: Academic Skills Assessments, which includes mathematics, reading, and writing tests, each of which has a specified passing score. In addition, a passing score in a specialty area is also required for initial licensure; the Praxis II tests fulfill this latter requirement, which is necessary for endorsement in a teaching specialty. This bill incorporates HB 2558.
