(1) a preservice alternative teacher preparation route that:
(A) requires the candidate to complete substantial preservice practice in a prekindergarten through grade 12 classroom, which may include time spent serving as a paraprofessional; and

(2) an alternative teacher preparation route that allows for flexibility in how a candidate may demonstrate proficiency for certification.
