Relates to admission requirements for graduate-level teacher and educational leader programs

This bill sets new admission requirements for graduate-level teacher and educational leader programs in New York. It requires programs to use rigorous selection criteria, such as a 3.0 GPA in undergraduate studies or alternative measures like strong letters of recommendation, language skills, or writing samples. Programs may exempt up to 50% of incoming students based on demonstrated potential or extenuating circumstances, but must report these exemptions and criteria to the state education department.
