A. As used in this section, &#8220;cooperating teacher&#8221; means an
individual licensed by the Board of Education who meets the criteria established

and evaluating one or more student teachers.

B. In addition to the provisions of &#xA7; 22.1-290.1 relating to compensation

be teachers may, from such funds as may be available for such purpose, develop
and implement a program to compensate public school or private school teachers
who agree to be cooperating teachers. Such compensation programs may provide for
payment in the form of money or authorization to enroll without charge for a
designated number of credit hours in the school, department, or other unit of
the institution of higher education at which the student teacher being
supervised is enrolled.
