Concerning instruction and intervention in reading and mathematics.

SB 6192 creates a "Star Teacher Award" for math and English language arts teachers in Washington who demonstrate improved student scores in specific grade bands (K-6 or 7-12). Awarded teachers receive a $10,000 annual bonus, with an additional $10,000 for teaching in high-poverty schools (defined by USDA eligibility or 70%+ free/reduced lunch participation). The bill also mandates school districts to implement structured literacy programs for K-4 reading (fully by 2028) and structured numeracy programs for K-4 math (fully by 2028), using evidence-based methods and diagnostic assessments. These programs must include targeted interventions for struggling students and family engagement strategies.
