PREFACE

The Kentucky statutes provide that “all certificates . . . shall be issued in accordance with the
published rules and regulations of the State Board of Education through the Superintendent

of Public Instruction” (KRS 161.030). This handbook is published to satisfy this statute and

to giVe wide distribution of the regulations of the State Board of Education that relate to teacher
education and certification.

This handbook includes the regulations adopted by the State Board of Education through Decem-
ber, 1976. For the most part the statutes and regulations pertaining to teacher education and
certification are presented Without further explanation or comment. Numerical references to

the Kentucky Revised Statutes and to the State Board of Education regulations have-been
included as a part of the sub-titles.

In order to give further clarity to the actual regulations at certain points interpretative statements
have been inserted, but in these instances the interpretive material has been inserted within
boxes so that there will be no confusion with the actual regulation.

It should be noted that while the regulations for teacher education and certification are legally
adopted by the Kentucky State Board of Education the decision making process which precedes
this adoption is designed to insure a broad base of participation. The Kentucky Council on
Teacher Education and Certification has the legal responsibility for prescribing curricula for
teacher education and for making recommendations to the State Board ofEducation for adop-
tion (see KRS 161.025 and KRS 161.030).

Within the Kentucky State Department of'Education the Division ofTeacher Education and
Certification has been assigned the responsibility for administering the regulations, procedures,
and policies relating to teacher education and certification.

PROMULGATION OF TEACHER CERTIFICATION REGULATIONS

By action of the 1974 Kentucky General Assembly all regulations of all state agencies have been
repromulgated in accordance 'with a specified legal process. With respect to teacher education
and certification any further changes must come about by a step—by-step process which is summa-
rized as follows, assuming a favorable action at each step:

a. The Kentucky Council on Teacher Education and Certification recommends a regula-
tion or regulation revision to the State Board of Education.

b. The State Board of Education accepts the recommendation and adopts the appropriate
regulation or revision.

c. The regulation is published in the Administrative Register ofthe Commonwealth of
Kentucky for the purpose of serving notice that there is a pending change and for
providing the opportunity for further reaction or a public hearing.

d. Upon request a public hearing is scheduled and conducted by the State Department
of Education.

e. The State Board of Education reconsiders the regulation or revision in terms of the
information presented at the public hearing.

f. The regulation is reviewed by the Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee.
This is ajoint sub-committee ofthe House and Senate of the Gener’al Assembly charged
with reviewing all proposed regulations in order to (1) determine whether the particular
state agency has the legal authority to issue the regulation and (2) whether the regula-
tion is in keeping with the legislative intent.

g. Final publication of the effective date of the new regulation or revision in the Adminis-
trative Register.

It is only after the last step in the process that a regulation can be implemented.

It has been the practice of the Kentucky Council on Teacher Education and Certification to give
wide publicity to proposals under consideration and to seek input from all affected parties before
making recommendations involving major changes.

Suggestions or proposals for regulation revision are invited by the Council. Such communications
should be prepared in writing and forwarded to the Kentucky Council on Teacher Education and

Certification, Room 1823, Capital Plaza Tower, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.

For further information about the Council, see Chapter I, Section D.
