Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

105 ILCS 5/21-2.1

from Ch. 122, par. 21-2.1

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Teacher Certification Article of the School Code. With respect to an early childhood certificate, provides that the student teaching portion of the practical experience requirement may involve supervised work with children under 6 years of age or with children in kindergarten through grade 3 or both. Provides that persons who have been employed for at least one year in their current early childhood program in a public or private school or a community-based entity, including paraprofessionals enrolled in teacher preparation programs, may be paid and receive credit while student teaching with their current employer, provided that their student teaching experience meets the requirements of their teacher preparation program.

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the bill, with the following changes. Provides that the student teaching portion of the practical experience may be satisfied through placement in any of grades pre-kindergarten (which consists of children from 3 years through 5 years of age) through 3, provided that the student is under the active supervision of a cooperating teacher who is certified and qualified in early childhood education (instead of allowing the student teaching portion of the practical experience to involve supervised work with children under 6 years of age or with children in kindergarten through grade 3). Provides that paraprofessionals with at least one year of experience in a school or community-based early childhood setting who are enrolled in early-childhood teacher preparation programs may be paid and receive credit while student teaching with their current employer, provided that their student teaching experience meets the requirements of their early-childhood teacher preparation program (instead of allowing persons who have been employed for at least one year in their current early childhood program in a school or community-based entity, including paraprofessionals enrolled in teacher preparation programs, to be paid and receive credit while student teaching with their current employer, provided that their student teaching experience meets the requirements of their teacher preparation program).
