| CA | Signed into law 10/2003 | Postsec.
Community College | Amends law requiring the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to encourage postsecondary institutions to offer integrated programs of professional preparation that enable candidates for teaching credentials to engage in professional preparation, concurrently with subject matter preparation. Requires an integrated program be designed to concurrently lead to a preliminary multiple subject or single subject teaching credential and a baccalaureate degree. Requires the Chancellor of the California State University to develop a framework defining appropriate balance for an integrated program of general education, subject matter preparation, and professional education courses. Requires the
Chancellor of the California State University and the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to develop guidelines to ensure
that the lower division coursework completed by community college students in an integrated program is articulated with, and accepted
as equivalent to, coursework offered to California State University students who are enrolled in that integrated program. Commencing
with the 2005-06 school year, each campus of the California State University is required to invite the community colleges in its region that send significant numbers of transfer students to that campus to enter into articulation agreements with respect to these integrated programs.
Require the Chancellor of the California State University to review the implementation of this bill, and report findings and recommendations to the Legislature by November 30, 2006. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb_0051-0100/sb_81_bill_20031012_chaptered.html

| LA | Signed into law 06/2003 | P-12 | Increases membership on the state advisory commission on teacher education and certification from 11 to 13 members. Decreases from ten to nine the members who are employed by a city or parish, adds that one of these nine may be employed by some "other local public school system." Adds requirement that tenth member represent the board of regents; adds requirement that 11th and 12th members represent the Blue Ribbon Commission on Teacher Quality or its successor. (Amendments retain standing requirement that 13th member be appointed from a list of teachers nominated by the J.K. Haynes Foundation). Specifies that from the nine members who are school system employees, six must be certified, employed, and actively engaged as full-time practicing classroom teachers, and that one of these six must be the teacher appointed from the list nominated by the J.K. Haynes Foundation. Requires member who is an education faculty member be nominated by the Louisiana Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, rather than the Louisiana Council of Education Deans, as previously required. Adds requirement that member representing the board of regents be appointed by the commissioner of higher education. Requires the two members representing the Blue Ribbon Commission on Teacher Quality be appointed by the commission's chairperson.
In section regarding the initial meeting of the state advisory commission on teacher education and certification, states that the commission must transact such other business as the state department of education considers advisable. (Former language required the commission to transact such other business as the commission considers advisable).
Deletes language requiring the commission to recommend state or national standards for preservice and advanced certification programs to the board of regents, the Board of Trustees for State Colleges and Universities, the Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, and the Board of Supervisors of Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College (retains language that the commission recommend on these areas to the state board).
