Public Schools - Career Ladder - Teacher Classroom Teaching Time

Summary

The bill changes Maryland’s career‑ladder rules so that teachers on levels one, two, or three must spend at least 80% of their working time teaching in the classroom, up from the current 60% requirement. The remaining time can be used for activities such as improving instruction, tutoring, and professional learning. The change is intended to give students more direct instruction while still allowing teachers to support learners in other ways.
