Education: teachers and administrators; teacher licensing examination requirements; provide for. Amends sec. 1531 of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1531).

Summary

The bill requires teachers seeking Michigan certification to pass state‑approved exams and complete a reading‑disability course before earning a professional certificate. It also lets teachers who already hold valid licenses from another state, country, or recognized tribe obtain a Michigan certificate or endorsement without the exams if they have at least three years of successful teaching experience, though they must still meet the reading course for professional status. The changes aim to improve reading instruction while streamlining licensing for qualified out‑of‑state educators.
