| IL | Signed into law 08/2011 | P-12 | Effective June 30, 2012, repeals 105 ILCS 5/21-1a on teacher certification exams. Effective June 30, 2013, repeals statutory provisions on (1) teacher certification, qualifications and issuance of certificates; (2) subject endorsement on teacher certificates; (3) grades of certificates; (4) early childhood certificates; (5) required instruction for all teachers; (6) elementary, special and high school certificates; (7) alternative certification and alternative routes to teacher certification; (8) administrative certification and alternative routes to administrator certification; (9) teacher leader endorsements; (10) principal preparation programs; (11) substitute certificates and substitute teaching; (12) provisional certificates; (13) recognition of certification of teachers from out of state; (14) additional certificates for experienced employed teachers; (15) resident teacher certificates; (16) 105 ILCS 5/21-12 related to printing, seal, signature, credentials for teacher certificates; (17) annual registration fees for certificates; (18) school service personnel certificates; (19) the Illinois Teaching Excellence Program (however, this program is reauthorized in the new Article 21B).
Effective September 2013, repeals statutory provisions related to the Illinois Teacher Corps.
Creates new Article 21B, "Educator Licensure". As summarized in http://www.ift-aft.org/News/DailyNews/11-06-06/Changes_in_Educator_Licensing_Pass_in_SB_1799.aspx:
--Renames the State Teacher Certification Board as the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board
--Changes the name of the certificate to the Illinois Professional Educator License. Qualified educators will be issued a professional educator license endorsed in each area and grade level for which they are eligible to seek employment in teaching, administration or school service. Each license will be valid for 5 years.
--Streamlines the 66 types of available certificates to 3 types of licenses: the Illinois Professional Educator License, the Professional Educator License with Stipulations and the Substitute Teaching License.. Each will be endorsed in specific content and grade areas. This change will make it easy for each license holder to track his/her qualifications as all endorsements will be on a single license rather than multiple certificates.
--All certificates renewing after July 2012 will be exchanged for Illinois licenses. Hard copy licenses will not be issued but the new credentials can be accessed and printed from the Educator Certification System online.
--The three license system (Initial, Standard, Master certificates) will be eliminated.
--Individuals holding National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification will get a National Board for Professional Teaching Standards designation on an existing Professional Educator License. Certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards does not automatically allow an individual to teach in the area for which he/she received NBPTS certification unless the individual also has the appropriate Illinois endorsement. The designation is issued for the same validity period (10 years) as the NBPTS certification. If an individual does not renew his/her NBPTS certification, the designation will be removed from the Professional Educator License.
--New fee structure effective January 2012 for applications for license (for in-state and out-of-state educators), additional endorsements/approvals, and registration per year.
--Effective September 2014, the general administrative endorsement will not be issued. Until July 2015, an individual may convert to a principal endorsement if he/she served at least 1 full year during the last 5 years in a position requiring a general administrative endorsement.
--Substitute teacher licenses are valid for 5 years and may be renewed if the individual has passed a test of basic skills. However, if an individual has had his/her Professional Educator License or Educator License with Stipulations suspended or revoked or has not met the renewal requirements for licensure, the individual is not eligible to obtain a Substitute Teaching License.
--The Paraprofessional educator endorsement will be on the Professional Educator License and renewable every 5 years. Renewal requirements have not yet been determined. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/97/PDF/097-0607.pdf

| CA | Signed into law 10/2010 | P-12 | From bill summary: Existing law makes a teacher who earns National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification and meets other specified criteria eligible for an award. Existing law requires a school district that receives an application for an award to certify the applicant's employment and that the applicant meets the criteria and to submit the application to the state department of education for its review and approval.
This bill eliminates the school district's obligations under this program. Pages 21-22 of 52: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_1601-1650/ab_1610_bill_20101019_chaptered.pdf

| GA | Signed into law 04/2009 | P-12 | Eliminates provision that a teacher must be granted two days of approved paid leave to prepare the portfolio of student work required for national certification. Replaces with provision that effective July 2009, only a teacher teaching full-time in a high-needs school is eligible for two days' paid leave to prepare the national board portfolio.

| IA | Signed into law 06/2006 | P-12 | Rewrites section 284.11 (former "Pilot program for team-based variable pay for student achievement"). New section 284.11 encourages school districts to establish teacher compensation opportunities that recognize the need for geographic or other locally determined wage differentials and provides incentives for traditionally hard-to-staff schools and subject-area shortages. Provides for state assistance to allow school districts to add a market factor to teacher salaries paid by the school districts. Provides that funds are to supplement, but not supplant, wages and salaries paid as a result of a collective bargaining agreement.
Authorizes department to spend up to $250,000 of an allocation to support the implementation of a national board certification support program.
Authorizes area education agencies to receive funds to support beginning teacher mentoring and induction programs.
Deletes selected provisions from section 284.13 on authorized allocations for teacher salaries, professional development, etc.
Requires a preliminary study to measure the cost and effectiveness in raising student achievement of a compensation system that provides financial incentives based on student performance. Beginning July 1, 2006, requires the commission to gather sufficient information to identify a pay-for-performance program based on student achievement gains and global content standards where student achievement gains cannot be easily measured. Directs the commission to review pay-for-performance programs in both the public and private sector. Based on this information, requires the commission to design a program utilizing both individual and group incentive components. Requires at least half of any available funding identified by the commission to be designated for individual incentives. Commencing with the school year beginning July 1, 2007, requires the commission to initiate demonstration projects, in selected kindergarten through grade twelve schools, to test the effectiveness of the pay-for-performance program. Directs the commission to select 10 school districts as demonstration projects. To the extent practicable, requires participants to represent geographically distinct rural, urban, and suburban areas of the state. Requires the commission, beginning in the 2008-2009 school year, to select twenty additional school districts as demonstration projects.
Requires the commission to prepare an interim report by January 15, 2007, followed by interim progress reports annually, followed by a final study report analyzing the effectiveness of pay-for-performance in raising student achievement levels. Requires the final study report to be completed no later than six months after the completion of the demonstration projects. Directs the general assembly to consider implementing the pay-for-performance program statewide for the 2009-2010 school year.
Governor vetoed provisions establishing a pay-for-performance commission to design and implement a pay-for-performance program and provide a study relating to teacher and staff compensation containing a pay-for-performance component. Governor directs the Institute for Tomorrow's Workforce to take the lead on this study. Governor likewise vetoed provisions directing the department to create a teacher remediation program to provide counseling and assistance for teachers whose students do not demonstrate adequate increases in achievement.

| KS | Signed into law 04/2005 | P-12 | HB 2331 amends statutes governing the National Board Certification program. Under current law, teachers attaining National
Board Certification receive an annual salary bonus from the state of $1,000 for the ten years of the certification period. The bill removes the ten-year limit to allow the salary bonus to be provided for those teachers who are re-certified for an additional ten years. In addition, teachers participating in the standards program prior to initial certification currently receive a scholarship to assist with the costs of the program. The bill codifies this scholarship at $1,100 and also provides for a $500 scholarship to assist with the costs of the re-certification program. The bill amends the statutes governing the Teacher Service Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to students who are planning to teach in a hard-to-fill discipline or underserved geographic area. Under current law, a hard-to fill discipline is defined as one in which there is a critical shortage of teachers as determined by the Board of Education. HB 2331 specifically adds math and science instruction for grades five through 12 to the definition.
