(1) "Years of experience" means the number of years the
teacher has been employed in the teaching profession, including

(6), (8), and (9) and (10) of this section relating to hours of
graduate work at an institution certified to do such work,
fifteen undergraduate credit hours from a regionally accredited
institution of higher education, earned after the effective date

teacher's current classification of certification and of
training; (b) a designated instructional shortage area documented
