| NJ | Signed into law 04/2012 | Postsec. | Establishes a four-year "VETeach Pilot Program" pilot to facilitate the teacher certification of veterans.
Provides that Richard Stockton College of New Jersey will enroll in a 36-month teacher preparation program, a single cohort of students who are veterans of the United States Armed Forces and who served on or after September 11, 2001. The program shall lead to a baccalaureate degree and completion of the requirements necessary to apply to the State Board of Examiners for a certificate of eligibility with advanced standing.
Provides that a certificate of eligibility with advanced standing issued to a student who completes the pilot program shall authorize the student to seek employment as a teacher in grades K through 8, and in certain secondary education fields.
Requires that, upon the conclusion of the pilot program, the commissioner shall report to the Governor and the Legislature on the number of veterans who enrolled in the teacher preparation program, the number of those veterans who were hired as teachers in public or nonpublic schools, and the advisability of the establishment of similar programs on a permanent basis.
