What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
2023 Wisconsin Act 20 requires teachers who teach grades kindergarten to 3, reading specialists, school principals, and certain University of Wisconsin System faculty and academic staff members to receive specific training in science-based reading instruction by July 1, 2025. Act 20 requires that the training be both 1) the Lexia Learning Systems, LLC, Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling or another program endorsed by the Center for Effective Reading Instruction and 2) offered by the Leadership in Literacy Institute or a provider that meets specific criteria.
This bill expands who may offer the required training. Under the bill, the training may be offered by LLI, a provider that meets the specific criteria, or a cooperative educational service agency that has at least two years of experience providing training related to science-based early reading instruction to school principals, administrators, and literacy teams.
