Maryland HB807 mandates teacher preparation programs to include English language learner competencies and related training.
Maryland HB807 requires teacher preparation programs to incorporate specific training in English language learner competencies. This includes understanding language development, equitable literacy learning opportunities, and working with linguistically diverse students and families. Programs must also include a three-credit course in teaching English language learners starting in the 2028-2029 academic year. The bill mandates that teacher preparation programs demonstrate competency in these areas and work with institutions that fail to meet recruitment and retention goals.
