Requires teaching programs to prioritize men and other underrepresented groups for selection.
This bill would require teaching residency programs to actively seek out and select people who are currently underrepresented in the teaching profession, including men. This means that if you are a man or from another group not often seen in teaching, these programs would give your application special consideration. Currently, these programs only need to set general selection criteria.
Currently, teaching residency programs funded by federal law must set general rules for choosing who can participate. If this bill passes, these programs would also need to actively prioritize recruiting and selecting individuals who are underrepresented in the teaching profession, specifically including men.
