Amends existing law to provide for teacher apprenticeships.

The purpose of this legislation would be to make a few administrative changes in the current certification requirements to allow for individuals who complete an approved registered apprenticeship program to be eligible for certification. Proposed amendments to Section 33-1201, Idaho Code, allow for a student serving in a practicum, internship or student teaching position under the supervision of a certificated staff person to be paid and individuals who successfully complete an approved registered apprenticeship program to be eligible for standard certification. These two amendments would allow the State Board of Education to develop registered apprenticeship programs that meet the same standards as a traditional program and targets individuals who have not yet earned a baccalaureate degree.
