AI Summary
This bill amends the existing Massachusetts law to require all school districts in the state to include training on racial and cultural bias, implicit bias, and equitable and inclusive practices in their professional development plans for principals, teachers, and other staff. The bill also requires the state's Commissioner of Education to develop a statewide plan for providing assistance to districts in creating and implementing these professional development plans, including data on the types of training provided for educators working with English language learners. The goal is to ensure that all educators receive training to address the effects of bias and promote more inclusive and responsive teaching practices in the classroom.
