Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 5.

Tennessee SB2407 amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 5 to allow individuals who have started but not completed the required clinical practice for their educator preparation provider (EPP) to receive a temporary clinical permit, provided they meet all other permit requirements. This bill affects prospective educators enrolled in EPPs by enabling them to fulfill clinical practice requirements through a combination of their prior completed practice and the time spent teaching under the temporary permit. Key provisions include the clarification of eligibility for the temporary permit and the allowance for combining clinical practice hours.
