Professional Preparation
Institutions that submit an alternative educator preparation program(s) for
Board approval must adhere to
R7-2-604.02,
except that individuals participating in or completing Board approved
alternative educator preparation programs as delineated in this section may
apply for a teaching intern certificate, pursuant to
R7-2-614(E),
and may complete their field experience and capstone experiences during the
valid period of their teaching intern certificate.
A. The State Board of Education may revoke
its approval of an approved provider if the Board determines that the program
for an alternative route to certification offered by the qualified provider
does not meet the applicable requirements of R7-2-604.03.
B. Before the Board revokes its approval of
an approved provider, the Board will notify the qualified provider of its
intent to revoke approval. The notice must include the specific reasons upon
which the Board is basing its decision. Not later than 30 days after the date
on which the qualified provider receives the notice, the qualified provider may
submit a written response to the Board which sets forth the reasons why
approval should not be revoked. The Board will review the notice and any
response submitted by the qualified provider and will determine whether to:
1. Revoke the approval of the qualified
provider;
2. Allow the qualified
provider to continue providing the program for an alternative route to
certification if certain enumerated conditions are met; or
3. Allow the continued approval of the
qualified provider without conditions.
C. If the Board revokes its approval of an
approved provider, the qualified provider must provide an exit plan which
includes a description of how the qualified provider will assist candidates
enrolled in the program for an alternative route to certification in completing
another program with a different qualified provider at no cost to the
candidate.
