The rule will also align the name of this license to the terminology used in statute. |

Stat. sec. 118.19 (7m) and define observed classroom experience. It would also align the name of this license and definitions of educator programs in this section to terminology used in statute. The rule would define the term enrollment for the purposes of this section. |

Under. 118.19 (1), Stats., any person seeking to teach in a public school, including a charter school, or in a school or institution operated by a county or the state shall first procure a license or permit from the department.

Stat. s. 115.28 (7) (a) the superintendent of public instruction shall make rules establishing standards of attainment and procedures for the examination and licensing of teachers within the limits prescribed in ss. 118.19 (2) and (3), 118.191, 118.192, 118.193, 118.194, and 118.195. |
