HB396 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to facilitate emergency certification for career and technical education teachers. The Department of Education can issue a Career and Technical Instructional I Certificate to candidates who either hold a valid certificate from another state or have four years of relevant work experience and nationally recognized accreditation. This certificate is valid for eight school terms and can be upgraded to a Career and Technical Instructional II Certificate after two years of classroom experience and satisfactory performance.
