Part 2110.0630 - INSTRUCTORS
A. A school must maintain a minimum ratio of one instructor per 20 students who are present at the school or participating virtually in synchronous real-time instruction.
(1) A school may use an unlicensed instructor who holds an active practitioner license as a substitute for a licensed instructor for no more than 15 full or partial calendar days in a consecutive 12-month period. When these conditions are met, the substitute instructor is considered an instructor for the instructor ratio requirement.
(2) The designated school manager (DSM) must notify the board when the school uses an unlicensed substitute instructor to satisfy the instructor ratio requirement. The DSM must notify the board using a form provided by the board within five business days of using an unlicensed substitute instructor.
(3) The DSM must notify the board when the school does not meet the instructor ratio requirement using a form provided by the board within five business days of the incident.
B. If a school is not in compliance with this part, the board must not accept student hours accrued during any period of noncompliance. The school must notify the students in writing of the board's decision and provide the board a copy of the required notification to each student that the hours accumulated during the period of noncompliance will not be accepted by the board. When a school uses an unlicensed substitute instructor to satisfy the instructor ratio requirement, the school must notify the board using a form provided by the board within five business days of the incident and provide the board with a copy of the notification that the school sent to students within five business days of using an unlicensed substitute instructor.
C. Any of an instructor's noninstructional duties or responsibilities must occur outside of scheduled classroom or clinic training hours.
D. Instructors are restricted to instruction in the area of their practitioner license and may not instruct in other disciplines.
E. All instructors must wear identification badges at all times stating their name and "Instructor." These badges must be at least two inches by one inch.
