Concerning Substitute Teaching
ARC 4797b
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 272.2, the Board of Educational Examiners hereby amends Chapter 14, “Issuance of Practitioner’s Licenses and Endorsements,” Iowa Administrative Code.
These amendments permit an applicant who successfully completed a teacher preparation program but who did not apply for an Iowa teaching license at the time of completion of the approved program an opportunity to be a substitute teacher. The amendments also permit an individual who holds only an administrative license to substitute teach.
Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin on October 12, 2005, as ARC 4581B. A public hearing on the amendments was held on November 1, 2005. No one attended the public hearing, and no written comments were received. These amendments are identical to those published under Notice.
These amendments are intended to implement Iowa Code chapter 272.
These amendments will become effective February 8, 2006.
The following amendments are adopted.
ITEM 1. Amend subrule 14.119(1) as follows:
14.119(1) A substitute teacher’s license may be issued to an individual who:
a. Has been the holder of, or presently holds, a license in Iowa; or holds or held a regular teacher’s license or certificate in another state, exclusive of temporary, emergency, substitute certificate or license, or a certificate based on an alternative certification program; or
b. Has successfully completed all requirements of an approved teacher education program and is eligible for the initial license, but has not applied for and been issued this license, or who meets all requirements for the initial license with the exception of the degree but whose degree will be granted at the next regular commencement.; or
c. Has successfully completed all requirements of an approved Iowa teacher education program, but did not apply for an Iowa teacher’s license at the time of the completion of the approved program.
ITEM 2. Amend subrule 14.119(3) as follows:
14.119(3) The holder of a substitute license is authorized to teach in any school system in any position in which a regularly licensed teacher was employed to begin the school year. In addition to the authority inherent in the provisional, initial, educational, standard, professional teacher, master educator, professional administrator, two–year exchange, and permanent professional licenses and the endorsement(s) held, the holder of one of these regular licenses may substitute on the same basis as the holder of a substitute license while the regular license is in effect.
