APPROVAL STANDARDS FOR VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAMS BASED ON BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY WORK EXPERIENCE
These rules establish a
performance-based preparation system for educators that supports
the Improvement of Student Achievement Act of 1993 (1209) which

In addition to colleges and universities, programs may be provided by community and technical colleges, school districts, educational service districts, or any combination of the above.
((In addition, this chapter authorizes the establishment of
a state-wide vocational-technical professional education council
