Bill overview
This bill directs the New Jersey State Board of Education to reduce the required clinical practice hours for teacher candidates seeking a certificate of eligibility with advanced standing. Currently, candidates must complete two semesters and 175 hours of clinical practice. The bill allows the State Board to lower these requirements, with the Commissioner of Education tasked with developing recommendations for this reduction and consulting with various education organizations. The goal is to streamline the certification process and potentially reduce costs for teacher candidates.
