Bill overview
This bill updates Michigan’s teacher licensing requirements. It allows teachers with valid certificates from other states, countries, or federally recognized tribes to receive Michigan teaching certificates and endorsements without having to pass the standard Michigan exams, provided they meet certain criteria like a minimum of three years of successful teaching experience. The bill also strengthens requirements for reading endorsements, including coursework focused on diagnosing and addressing reading disabilities, and establishes a process for developing and selecting subject area examinations.
