This session, Senator Stacey Donato authored Senate Bill 266, which would require the Indiana Department of Education to evaluate state teacher training requirements and report their recommendations for streamlining, combining and reducing teacher training requirements to the Indiana General Assembly.
Senator Donato said, “I believe an educator’s job is to teach. It is important for the General Assembly to understand the obstacles educators must go through to ensure that they are proficient in their field and are equipped to handle the many stressors their job entails.”
She continued, “My hope is that SB 266 will ultimately help streamline teacher training requirements, while ensuring that our educators have the skillsets they need to excel in the classroom.”
