The Iowa board requires prescribed practice teaching for the standard elementary certificate, affecting teachers with lower certificates and those upgrading. A Cedar Rapids area veteran with seven years of teaching may lose her job to accommodate the rule unless she resumes practice teaching or pursues more summer college work. Experts argue for some relaxation, noting experience can substitute in some cases while reaffirming the value of supervised teaching.

Debate on college degrees and medical internship standards
