In proposing rules under this subchapter regarding training requirements for a candidate who has previously earned a degree and is seeking certification through an alternative teacher preparation route, the board shall establish:
(1) a preservice alternative teacher preparation route that:
(A) requires the candidate to complete substantial preservice practice in a prekindergarten through grade 12 classroom, which may include time spent serving as a paraprofessional; and
(B) provides training synchronously, unless the educator preparation program applies to and receives approval from the board for an exception allowing the program to provide training asynchronously; and
(2) an alternative teacher preparation route that allows for flexibility in how a candidate may demonstrate proficiency for certification.
