Provides that a provision requiring teacher candidates to pass an evidence-based assessment of teacher effectiveness applies except as otherwise provided in the Educator Licensure Article of the School Code. With respect to applicants who have not been entitled by an Illinois-approved educator preparation program at an Illinois institution of higher education applying for a Professional Educator License endorsed in a teaching field or school support personnel area, provides that a comparable educator license or certificate from another state is one that demonstrates that the license or certificate holder meets similar requirements as candidates entitled by an Illinois-approved educator preparation program in teaching or school support personnel areas concerning coursework aligned to standards concerning methods of instruction of the exceptional child, methods of reading and reading in the content area, and instructional strategies for English learners. Provides that an applicant who holds a comparable and valid educator license or certificate from another state must submit verification to the State Board of Education that the applicant has completed coursework concerning methods of instruction of the exceptional child, methods of reading and reading in the content area, and instructional strategies for English learners. Provides that applicants who have not been entitled by an Illinois-approved educator preparation program at an Illinois institution of higher education applying for a Professional Educator License endorsed for chief school business official and who have successfully completed a test of content, as identified by rules, at the time of initial licensure in another state or country shall not be required to complete a test of content.
