To revise the requirements, qualification and conditions an individual would have to meet to get the proposed interim special education teaching certificate with a slightly different list, in particular increasing the amount of training required to get the interim certificate from 12 credit hours to 32, with each representing seven hours in the classroom. Also, to require the state to contract with a university to obtain a report on school teacher shortage claims (an area where special education programs in particular appear to face challenges).
