Summary

The measure updates Michigan’s teacher licensing rules. It requires all candidates to complete a three‑credit course on reading disabilities before earning a professional certificate, and it lets teachers licensed in other states, countries, or recognized tribes obtain Michigan certificates or endorsements without extra exams if they have three years of teaching experience. The changes aim to improve reading instruction and make credentialing easier for experienced teachers.
