Education; creating the Oklahoma Teacher-Led Curriculum Development Act; directing the State Department of Education to establish certain consortium. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1891 creates the Oklahoma Teacher-Led Curriculum Development Act, requiring the State Department of Education to establish a teacher-led consortium by August 1, 2026. The consortium must include certified teachers with at least five years of experience and a "superior" or "highly effective" evaluation rating, representing diverse school sizes (urban, rural, and varying student enrollment). It will review and approve first-grade math curriculum meeting state standards, with the approved curriculum published online by January 31, 2027, and expand to other subjects per a schedule. The bill directly affects Oklahoma public school teachers and districts by shifting curriculum development authority to teacher-led groups.
