Requires candidate for teacher certification to complete course or training on anti-racism in education.

S 2787 requires all new teacher certification candidates (including those completing approved educator programs and alternate route applicants) to complete a mandatory anti-racism training course before certification. The training must cover diversity's role in teaching, developing racial literacy, examining personal biases, and understanding how race affects classroom decisions like grading and discipline. Approved educator programs must update their curricula to include this training, share syllabi and required texts online, and submit revisions to the Department of Education for approval. The requirement begins in the first full school year after the bill's effective date, with alternate route candidates needing to complete the training within one year of employment.
