Bill overview
This bill removes restrictions on teachers seeking permanent teaching licenses in West Virginia. Specifically, it allows teachers to qualify for a permanent license through various pathways, including meeting minimum degree requirements, passing subject matter tests, completing alternative teacher education programs, or having three years of successful teaching experience in another state. The bill also addresses paraprofessional and athletic coach certificates, and provides a streamlined process for armed forces spouses seeking temporary licenses. Finally, it allows teachers with 10 years of continuous service in West Virginia to apply for a permanent license without additional coursework.
