The board shall develop and implement policies relative to the certification of foreign associate teachers that include the following components:
(1) The designation by the board of the appropriate foreign language associate teaching certificate to be granted to teachers who meet the certification requirements of the Foreign Associate Teacher Program.
(2) Procedures for foreign language associate teaching certificate renewal upon the teacher's completion of a required number of continuing learning units as determined by the board.
(3) Testing requirements for teachers holding certain foreign language associate teaching certificates who are pursuing a regular teaching certificate.
(4) The expansion of languages covered under the foreign language associate teaching certificate that will allow for growth of the Foreign Associate Teacher Program.
(5) Support for the addition of a foreign language indicator to the list of critical certification shortage areas in the revised Teacher Preparation Accountability System to encourage universities to increase the number of foreign language teachers who complete teacher preparation programs.
