| Description of Subjects/Issues |
The revisions have been made to these rules in response to recent legislation and technical
clean-up needs. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The statutory basis for these rules is found in section 22-60.5-101, et seq, C.R.S., the Colorado Educator Licensing Act of 1991, and section 22-2-109(1) State board of education – additional duties. These rules establish the standards and criteria for the issuance of licenses and authorizations to teachers, special services providers, principals and administrators. The Act calls for the State Board of Education to adopt rules for a three-tiered system of licensure for education personnel which includes an initial license for entry-level educators, a professional license for experienced educators, and a voluntary master certificate for outstanding educators.
These rules also provide for the issuance of special authorizations to educators as necessary to meet the needs of Colorado schools and students. Standards and processes for the approval of educator preparation programs through institutions of higher education and at alternative sites are provided. Criteria for the renewal of licenses and authorizations are established, which provide for significant involvement of practicing educators. Standards for endorsement in subject areas or other areas of educational specialization are prescribed.
These rules provide a process for the recognition of educator preparation programs in other states to facilitate the movement of educators among states. As required by the Act, the rules establish the requirements of induction programs provided by local school districts to assist new educators through support, supervision, ongoing professional development and evaluation.
The rules establish the standards and processes by which licenses may be denied, suspended, annulled or revoked for conviction of certain criminal offenses, unethical behavior or professional incompetence. Other miscellaneous provisions are included to meet the requirements of the Act. |
