Description
Teacher education. Requires that all persons seeking licensure as a teacher obtain a degree in any branch of liberal arts, science, mathematics, social studies, or other specific subject area, but not a degree in pedagogy. The measure also establishes a teacher internship program in lieu of student teacher or clinical faculty programs that are currently administered by institutions of higher education in cooperation with public elementary and secondary schools. The Board of Education must develop and implement the teacher internship program to provide all graduates of an accredited degree-granting institution seeking licensure in Virginia with training in a classroom under the supervision of an experienced teacher. All graduates of a degree-granting institution seeking licensure in Virginia must complete a one-year paid internship at a public elementary or secondary school in the Commonwealth. At the completion of the internship, the principal of the school in which the internship was completed, in consultation with the intern's supervising teacher, must evaluate the intern's performance during the internship and determine whether the intern shall be certified for licensure by the Department of Education. Upon certification by a principal to the Department that an intern has successfully completed the internship program, the Board shall issue the intern a license if he has satisfied all other requirements for licensure by the Board.
