What it does
The Educators for America Act would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to modify the requirements for teacher residency programs under the Teacher Quality Partnerships initiative. Specifically, it would require these programs to establish selection criteria based on certain characteristics and to prioritize recruiting and selecting individuals who are underrepresented in the teaching profession, including men. The bill affects teacher residency programs funded under federal education grants and aims to increase diversity in the educator workforce by changing how eligible participants are chosen.
