Organizations that support this bill may include dyslexia advocacy groups, literacy organizations, parent groups, and education reform advocates that want teacher training to use science-of-reading methods and better support struggling readers.

Vote No on this bill if you want to avoid adding new state requirements that could force teacher training programs to change their coursework, risk losing approval, or have less freedom to design their own curriculum.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include some teacher preparation programs, colleges of education, and education groups concerned about stricter state mandates, possible loss of program approval, and reduced flexibility in how future teachers are trained.
