Creates the Teacher Shortage Reduction Act, a new initiative to identify high school students who show an early interest in education and help guide them toward becoming certified teachers or working in classroom support roles.“Oklahoma schools are short more than 700 teachers this school year,” Standridge said. “This legislation takes a NO-COST approach to strengthening the teacher pipeline by connecting students who are interested in education with real-world learning opportunities early on, so they’re better prepared to step into the classroom after graduating college.”
