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

This bill modifies Michigan's teacher licensing laws to update requirements for obtaining and maintaining teaching certificates. It mandates that all new teachers pass specific examinations and complete a specialized course on diagnosing and remediating reading disabilities, which must include various assessment tools and instructional strategies. The legislation also streamlines the process for out-of-state and international educators by allowing them to receive Michigan certification without retaking exams if they have at least three years of successful teaching experience in their home jurisdiction. Additionally, it requires reading standards to explicitly address reading disorders and establishes a committee to oversee the development and selection of future subject area examinations.
