(a) The board shall propose rules under this subchapter to create a teacher residency preparation route.
(b) In proposing rules for a teacher residency preparation route under this section, the board must require that the program:
(1) use research-based best practices for recruiting and admitting candidates into the program;
(2) integrate course work, classroom practice, formal observation, and feedback;
(3) require a candidate to receive preservice practice in a prekindergarten through grade 12 classroom for at least one full school year;
(4) use multiple assessments to measure a candidate's progress; and
(5) provide training synchronously, unless the educator preparation program applies to and receives approval from the board for an exception allowing the program to provide training asynchronously.
