Sec. 6681. Purposes

    The purposes of this division are--
        (1) to establish a program to recruit and retain highly 
    qualified mid-career professionals (including highly qualified 
    paraprofessionals), and recent graduates of an institution of higher 
    education, as teachers in high-need schools, including recruiting 
    teachers through alternative routes to certification; and
        (2) to encourage the development and expansion of alternative 
    routes to certification under State-approved programs that enable 
    individuals to be eligible for teacher certification within a 
    reduced period of time, relying on the experience, expertise, and 
    academic qualifications of an individual, or other factors in lieu 
    of traditional course work in the field of education.
