AI Summary
This bill requires the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to contract with a training provider to develop and offer annual online professional development modules specifically for substitute teachers in the state. The modules will cover key educational topics such as technology tools, classroom management, special education, equity and diversity, and trauma-informed practices, and will be tailored to substitute teachers with different levels of classroom experience (ranging from zero to nine or more years). The bill mandates that the ODE reimburse substitute teachers for participating in these modules and requires the department to submit a report to legislative education committees by September 15, 2026, detailing the implementation's successes and challenges, including the number of substitute teachers who completed the modules and their feedback on module quality. The reporting requirement will be automatically repealed on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited initiative designed to improve professional development opportunities for substitute teachers in Oregon.
