Expanding the Pool of Teachers Policy
There are no coursework requirements associated with Vermont's Peer Review alternate route.
Candidates must show evidence of at least 12 consecutive weeks of student teaching or an equivalent learning experience. An equivalent learning experience is defined as having a substantial amount of supervised experiences working with students in the endorsement area.

Vermont had no comment on this goal.
