Purpose The purpose of this section is to provide funding to develop, implement, and demonstrate teacher certification programs.
Development, implementation and demonstration The Secretary may enter into a memorandum of agreement with a State educational agency, an institution of higher education, or a consortia of State educational agencies or institutions of higher education, to develop, implement, and demonstrate teacher certification programs for members of the Armed Forces described in section 6673
(a)(1)(B) of this title for the purpose of assisting such members to consider and prepare for a career as a highly qualified elementary school teacher, secondary school teacher, or vocational or technical teacher upon retirement from the Armed Forces.
Program elements A teacher certification program under subsection (b) of this section shall—
provide recognition of military experience and training as related to certification or licensing requirements;
provide courses of instruction that may be conducted on or near a military installation;
incorporate alternative approaches to achieve teacher certification, such as innovative methods to gaining field-based teaching experiences, and assessment of background and experience as related to skills, knowledge, and abilities required of elementary school teachers, secondary school teachers, or vocational or technical teachers;
provide for courses to be delivered via distance education methods; and
address any additional requirements or specifications established by the Secretary.
