Summary

Session
Regular Session 2018
Title
Education, Alabama Math and Science Teacher Education Program (AMSTEP) created, ACHE to administer, loan repayment awards to eligible public school math and science teachers in underserved areas of state
Description

Existing law does not provide a financial incentive for teachers who earn certification in mathematics or science and accept teaching positions in those areas of the state with shortages of math or science teachers, or both.

This bill would establish the Alabama Math and Science Teacher Education Program, administered through the Alabama Commission on Higher Education, to provide loan repayment awards to eligible public school teachers of math or science, or both, in those areas of the state determined to have qualified teacher shortages by the commission in consultation with the State Department of Education.
