Creates a program to train experienced teachers for leadership roles while they stay in the classroom.
This bill would create a new program to help experienced classroom teachers take on leadership roles in their schools. It would set aside money for grants that schools and colleges could use to train these teachers, letting them guide other educators and improve student learning while still teaching in the classroom. This program would replace an older, expired funding authorization.
Today, there isn't a specific federal program to develop "teacher leaders" who stay in the classroom, and the funding for similar education programs expired after the government's budget year 2011. This bill would create a new "Teacher Leader Development Program" with dedicated grants for schools and colleges to train experienced teachers for leadership roles, and would reauthorize funding for these programs starting in the government's budget year 2025.
