Teaching programs would prioritize recruiting underrepresented individuals, including men
This bill would change how teaching residency programs select participants. It would require these programs to actively seek out and prioritize individuals who are currently underrepresented in teaching, such as men. This aims to bring more diverse candidates into the teaching profession.
Today, teaching residency programs establish criteria for selecting participants based on specific characteristics. If this bill becomes law, these programs would also be required to prioritize recruiting and selecting individuals who are underrepresented in the teaching profession, such as men, in addition to their existing selection criteria.
