Educator Talent Rules Feedback

Overview

CDE is currently seeking public comment on revisions to the Rules for the Administration of the Educator Licensing Act of 1991, 1 CCR 301-37. This rulemaking process has been initiated as a result of legislation stemming from the 2020 legislative cycle, and includes rules related to HB20-1128, HB20-1312, and SB20-158.

These rule amendments are intended to:

• Update professional development requirements for renewal of professional educator licenses.
• Refine terminology to align with recent legislation.
• Update the Adult Basic Education certification to align with Colorado Community College standards.

Additionally, this rulemaking process includes a proposed amendment to Rule 10.01 and a proposed new Rule 10.06. The proposed amendment to Rule 10.01 would update the standards for "professional incompetence" under C.R.S. § 22-60.5-107(4). The proposed new Rule 10.06 would require educators to notify the department if they file a petition to seal criminal records, to align with § 24-72-703.
