Committee to draft rule requiring coursework before Texas Practicum after subcommittee recommendation

Jul 15, 2025

After the education subcommittee recommended requiring completion of coursework before beginning the Texas Practicum, the committee asked staff to draft proposed rule language to be reviewed by the subcommittee and then the full committee in October.

The full story

Committee members discussed reports that some candidates are beginning practicum assignments before completing required coursework and agreed a rule change should be drafted to require coursework completion prior to practicum. Members debated what threshold to require — suggestions included 75%–100% completion — but did not set a final percentage and asked staff to prepare draft language for the education subcommittee to review.
