Teacher licensure requirements modification related to the Read Act
This bill modifies Minnesota's teacher licensure requirements related to the Read Act by requiring school districts to adopt annual literacy plans focused on foundational reading skills. It directly affects school districts, K-3 classroom teachers, reading intervention staff, and special education teachers by mandating evidence-based reading instruction and structured literacy training. Key provisions include annual submission of literacy plans detailing student assessments, intervention strategies, staff training completion, and curriculum use - streamlined through a new commissioner-developed template. Districts must report teacher training status and student progress data (including dyslexia identification and grade-level reading) to the state by specific deadlines. The bill aims to standardize literacy planning while reducing administrative burden on educators.
