| KY | Signed into law 04/2008 | P-12 | Creates a certification incentive fund to provide grants for eligible recipients to conduct summer institutes. Specifies that the priority for the institutes in the 2008-2009 through 2011-2012 school years is the certification of teachers in high school mathematics, chemistry, integrated science, and physics, and middle school mathematics and earth science under option 7 of the alternative certification program, certification of a person in a field other than education to teach in elementary, middle or secondary programs. Provides that grant recipients may be nonprofit organizations, institutions, and agencies, including postsecondary education institutions, school districts, education cooperatives, and consortia of school districts. Requires the education professional standards board to determine priority for specific institutes at the end of the 2011-2012 school year.
Requires each individual completing a summer institute to have additional hours of formal instruction or assistance during the first year of teaching to reach the minimum number of clock hours. Provides that an alternative teacher certification candidate participating in the institute must not be required to participate in the teacher internship program until the second year of teaching. Requires the candidate to be assigned a teacher mentor by the grant recipient the first year of teaching, with payment of the teacher mentor coming from the summer institute grant.
Provides forgiveable loans to individuals accepted into an institute. Provides the loan will be forgiven if the participant teaches in a Kentucky public or certified nonpublic school for one year within the three years following the awarding of the loan. Also provides a stipend, equal to the loan award amount, for each individual who completes a summer institute. Provides that grant recipients and school districts may offer financial incentives to potential participants and individuals who complete an institute from fund sources other than the grant funds.
Provides that teachers' professional growth fund may be used to provide teachers with professional development that may lead to additional certification endorsements or renewal of certification. Adds that the professional development programs for which teachers may receive support from the fund must provide teacher participants with the opportunity to obtain certificate endorsements or extensions in critical shortage areas, with priority given to math and science through 2016, and in core content areas to their existing certifications through the TC-HQ process, established by the education professional standards board to meet the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act. Specifies that beginning June 1, 2010, through the 2015-2016 school year, priority for the use of funds from the teachers' professional growth fund must be for the purpose of increasing the number of certified math and science teachers. http://www.lrc.ky.gov/record/08RS/SB64/bill.doc
