Requires K-5 teachers and administrators to complete professional learning on literacy instruction.

This bill amends the Michigan Education Law to mandate that K-5 teachers and administrators complete professional learning on literacy instruction. The Michigan Department of Education must approve a single provider for this training, which must include a comprehensive framework with three tiers of instructional support. The training must cover the critical components of literacy, including phonological and phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and fluency. The bill also requires annual reporting on the number of individuals who have completed the training and the cost per individual.
