Establishes provisions relating to the granting of certain teaching certificates

Summary

The bill outlines several ways the Missouri State Board of Education can grant teaching certificates—through college credit, exams, doctoral degrees, an 18‑hour online program, and private‑sector certifications. It also adds limited certificates for banking/financial instruction, for teachers certified by ABCTE or Teachers of Tomorrow, and for visiting scholars placed in hard‑to‑staff schools. The goal is to broaden credential options while keeping background‑check and evaluation requirements.
