| NY | Emergency Rule Adoption 05/2010 | P-12 | From the administrative register:
It is anticipated that the proposed amendment will be presented to the board of regents for adoption as a permanent rule at its July 20, 2010 meeting.
Educational leaders have advised the state education department that they are having difficulty recruiting certified, qualified teaching staff in many schools but particularly in high need schools. The proposed amendment increases the number of qualified individuals who will be attracted to teaching careers through graduate level clinically rich pilot programs. The proposed amendment provides two teacher preparation tracks: Track A is a residency program where the candidate works with a teacher of record in a high need school and Track B is a residency program that leads to a Transitional B certificate where the candidate is the teacher of record in a high need school. Track B of this pilot program provides districts with the opportunity to hire individuals for teaching positions who are well grounded in the subject to be taught and who have completed the necessary coursework and examinations to receive a transitional B certificate for employment in the public schools for the 2010-11 school year. However, in order for candidates in this program to obtain a Transitional B certificate for employment in the 2011-12 school year, they need to complete a pre-service component and submit evidence of having achieved a satisfactory level of performance on the New York State teacher certification examination liberal arts and sciences test, and the content specialty test(s) in the area of the certificate sought, if required. Therefore, in order to fill these personnel shortages in high need schools in the 2011-12 school year, an emergency action is necessary for the preservation of the general welfare in order to timely implement the provisions of the proposed amendment to provide districts and BOCES with timely notice of the new requirements and to complete the competitive bidding process for the selection of program providers before the 2011-12 school year.
