Establishes "Teacher Certification Reform Act of 2025."

This bill establishes New Jersey's "Teacher Certification Reform Act of 2025" to streamline teacher certification and address staffing shortages. It creates four new endorsements: Students with Disabilities (PreK-12), Elementary School (K-8), Bilingual/Bicultural (PreK-12), and General Science (9-12), replacing older, more fragmented certifications. The bill simplifies testing by requiring only a minimum average score (not individual subtest scores) for elementary certification, and exempts native speakers of world languages from additional coursework for middle school endorsements. These changes directly affect educators seeking or holding teaching certifications, particularly in high-need areas like special education, bilingual education, and STEM, aiming to make certification more accessible while maintaining quality standards.
