Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has signed a regulation that will remove a barrier for instructor applicants and assist in coping with a statewide shortage of instructors. The new law eliminates a requirement that instructor applicants pass a test of primary skills to get an educator license.
Supporters say the test became needless because admission to a trainer preparation application already demonstrates that applicants have primary educational skills. It also required applicants to demonstrate abilities that weren’t the grade or concern they meant to train. The check price is more than $60. The Illinois State Board of Education says there were over one hundred unfilled lecture room positions at the beginning of the ultimate faculty year. The new law was about 1, three hundred coaching applicants might start pupil teaching q4.
