Amends and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding a teacher apprenticeship program and to revise provisions regarding teacher certification.

Teacher apprenticeships were approved as an apprenticeship category by the U.S. Department of Labor in October 2021. Since then, Idaho has been developing policies and programs to support teacher apprenticeships as a teaching pathway. This bill provides additional clarification for the teacher apprenticeship pathway by providing definitions for mentor teachers and teaching apprentices, and defines that teacher apprenticeship programs should lead to both a bachelor's degree and a standard instructional certificate.
