Prohibits Commissioner of Education from approving certain tests for teacher certification candidates with extended retake waiting periods.
This bill prohibits New Jersey's Commissioner of Education from approving teacher certification tests that require candidates to wait more than 14 days before retaking them. It specifically targets tests for basic skills (reading, writing, math) and subject matter knowledge, currently including the Praxis test which mandates a 28-day wait. The bill does not affect alternative tests like the SAT, ACT, or GRE, which are already accepted for certification and have different retake policies. It directly impacts teacher certification candidates who would otherwise face extended delays in retaking required assessments.
