(Griswold) Tom Moore Iowa House District 21 Representative floor managed two educational Bill’s this week. House File 2398 creates a permanent teacher license for those with a master’s or doctoral degree without renewal requirements.
The bill passed by a 99-0 vote and will now move onto the Senate.
Moore also managed a bill he’s been working on for six years. The bill removes the requirement for practitioner preparation students to take and pass the Praxis II Exam or EdTPA exam before being eligible for licensure. It also requires teacher-ed institutions to find all past students who did not meet the minimum requirements on the test and inform them of their ability to get licensed with the BOEE. The bill passed 94-0 and will now head to the Senate Floor.
