DISCUSSION AND ACTION

  1. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Proposed Amendment to 19 TAC Chapter 228, Requirements for Educator Preparation Programs, §228.1, General Provisions

This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to discuss and propose an amendment to 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 228, Requirements for Educator Preparation Programs, §228.1, General Provisions. The proposed amendment would provide additional flexibility for educator preparation programs (EPPs) and candidates to fulfill educator preparation requirements related to clinical teaching, internships, and practicums when those assignments occur at least partially in virtual settings due to campus and district modifications in response to COVID-19 during the 2020–2021 academic year.
