     4  the  commissioner shall prescribe regulations requiring that all persons
     5  applying on or after January first, two thousand twenty-two for a teach-
     6  ing certificate or license  as  a  special  education  teacher  for  the
     7  purposes pursuant to article eighty-nine of this chapter shall, in addi-
     8  tion  to  all  the  other  certification or licensing requirements, have
     9  completed enhanced course work or training in the area of trauma  as  it
    10  relates to children and its impact on child development and learning. In
    11  addition,  such  regulations shall require that enhanced training in the
    12  needs of children who have experienced trauma be provided to each certi-
    13  fied school administrator or supervisor assigned  on  or  after  January

    21  from an institution or provider which has been approved by  the  depart-
    22  ment  to  provide such course work or training in the needs of those who
    23  have experienced trauma, provided that enhanced training  for  certified
    24  school  administrators or supervisors that meets standards prescribed by
    25  the  commissioner  may  be  included  in  the  professional  development
    26  provided  by  the  school  district  or board of cooperative educational
