Requires school districts to provide training and coaching to certain teachers on student literacy and reading interventions; requires DOE to establish program for literacy coaches.

This bill requires New Jersey school districts to provide annual training to K-12 teachers who deliver reading interventions to students with reading deficiencies, covering evidence-based "science of reading" practices and distinguishing reading deficiencies from special education needs. It mandates the Department of Education to create a "train the trainer" program certifying literacy coaches who provide ongoing coaching support - including classroom observations, example lessons, and feedback - to teachers implementing reading interventions. Literacy coaches receive a one-time stipend, and the required training counts toward existing professional development requirements. The law takes effect immediately for the first full school year after enactment, directly affecting school districts, certified reading teachers, and literacy coaches.
