The purpose of this bill is to authorize teacher education programs in the state to enter into agreements with county boards to use intensively supervised and mentored teacher-in-residence programs approved by the state board, in lieu of student teaching, for prospective teachers during their senior who have already passed the basic skills and content area licensure tests and meet other requirements. The teacher-in-residence must be issued a teacher-in-residence permit as authorized in the bill and they would be the teacher of record. The salary and benefit costs for the position to which they are assigned would be used to help support program costs and pay a stipend to the teacher-in-residence.
