ABOUT THE TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
-
Colorado school districts are required to ensure all K-3 teachers complete evidence-based training in teaching reading as a result of changes to the Colorado READ Act in SB-19-199 (PDF). HB21-1129 extends the previously approved deadline of January 31, 2022 to the beginning of the 2022-23 school year. More related information will be released soon by CDE. In subsequent years, districts will need to ensure that teachers new to teaching K-3rd grade also meet this requirement.
To meet this training requirement, State Board of Education rules require that evidence-based training in teaching reading must:
- Consist of a minimum of 45 hours;
- Address the content of the educator preparation literacy standards referenced in the state board's RULES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF EDUCATOR LICENSE ENDORSEMENTS, 1 CCR 301-101, SECTION 4.02(5) THROUGH 4.02(12) (effective May 30, 2019); and
- Include an end of course assessment that teachers can provide evidence of passing.
State law and State Board of Education rules allow the following options for teachers to meet the training requirement. CDE will provide information for teachers to submit documentation that one of these training options met the hour, content, and assessment requirements. At this time, CDE anticipates that the documentation will be a part of a teachers' license.
