Teacher Certification Reform Act of 2025 revises teacher endorsements and certification requirements in New Jersey.

The Teacher Certification Reform Act of 2025 aims to streamline New Jersey's teacher certification process. It establishes new endorsements for teaching students with disabilities, elementary school, bilingual and bicultural education, and general science. The act also renames certain endorsements and adjusts testing requirements to make the certification process more accessible and equitable. It seeks to address the state's teacher shortage by easing barriers for potential educators, particularly in high-need areas.
