Minnesota HF60 modifies teacher licensure requirements, mandates dyslexia training, and requires rulemaking.

Minnesota HF60 amends teacher licensure requirements by setting a one-year term for initial Tier 1 licenses, with a limit of three renewals unless specific conditions are met. The bill mandates that all licensed teachers include two hours of professional development on dyslexia in their renewal requirements. The Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board must develop this training with input from dyslexia specialists. Training resources must be provided at no cost to teachers or districts.
