AI Summary
This bill, known as the Oklahoma Teacher-Led Curriculum Development Act, directs the State Department of Education to establish a curriculum consortium by August 1, 2026, composed of certified teachers with at least five years of experience and a "superior" or "highly effective" rating on the Oklahoma Teacher and Leader Effectiveness Evaluation System (TLE), which is a system for evaluating teacher performance. The consortium must include teachers from both urban and rural school districts of varying sizes, specifically those with an average daily membership (ADM), which refers to the average number of students attending a school district on a given day, of 500 or fewer, between 1,000 and 2,000, and 2,000 or more students. After an organizational meeting by August 15, 2026, the Department, with the consortium's input, will solicit and review first-grade mathematics curriculum developed by teachers, approving it if it aligns with state standards and rigor, and will publish the approved curriculum by January 31, 2027. The consortium will also develop a schedule for reviewing curriculum for other grade levels and subjects. The act will take effect on July 1, 2026, and is declared an emergency measure.
