AI Summary
This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to authorize grants for the establishment of professional development programs for teachers who remain in the classroom while also carrying out formalized leadership responsibilities. The bill defines a "teacher leader" as a teacher who has demonstrated leadership abilities and maintains a role as a classroom instructor. The professional development program would provide one year of training, which may lead to a teacher leadership credential, followed by one to two additional years of support. The eligible entities, which include partnerships between institutions of higher education and high-need local educational agencies, would be responsible for selecting teacher leaders, developing program plans, and using grant funds to cover the costs of the program.
