AI Summary
This bill requires numeracy professional development for certain teachers in Louisiana. Specifically, it requires the state Department of Education to develop a list of approved professional development courses on numeracy skills instruction by March 1, 2024. It then requires teachers of grades 4-8 who teach mathematics to successfully complete at least one of these approved courses by August 1, 2025, or within two years of being hired if employed after that date. The bill also requires school boards to report annually on the number and percentage of teachers who have completed the required course, and this data will be included in the department's school progress profiles. The implementation of this bill is subject to the availability of designated and allocated funds, and no state or federal funds can be used for this purpose.
