This Oklahoma bill updates state laws regarding professional development for teachers and school administrators to better support student learning and safety. It requires school districts to create committees that include teachers, parents, and counselors to design training programs focused on improving academic scores, closing achievement gaps, and reducing the need for college remediation. The legislation mandates specific annual training on topics such as recognizing and reporting child abuse, autism awareness, and dyslexia and dysgraphia instruction. Additionally, it establishes consequences for teachers who fail to complete required professional development hours, which could affect their contract renewal or salary increases.
