Application procedures to obtain approval by the state board of education of any proposed alternative teacher program. Such application for approval shall include, but shall not be limited to, statements by the designated agency making such application as to the expectations of what such program would accomplish, the goals and objectives of such alternative teacher program, and what benefits alternative teachers would expect to receive by participating in such alternative teacher program.
