Teacher and School Leader Quality Partnership Grants Act

HR 1331 establishes a federal grant program to improve teacher and school leader preparation in high-need schools. It funds partnerships between high-need local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, and other stakeholders to support teacher and school leader residency programs and professional development. The bill requires eligible partnerships to prepare educators who are "profession-ready" to teach diverse students, with specific training in comprehensive literacy instruction, working with English learners, and supporting students with disabilities. It also establishes accountability measures, including evaluation plans that track educator retention, certification pass rates, and the percentage of profession-ready educators hired in high-need schools.
