State standards for what new teachers learn have their first major update since 1999, per new rules effective this week.
The “Standards of Effective Practice” are the knowledge and skills a teacher needs to demonstrate before they enter the classroom.
Students thrive when teachers are able to see them for who they are, what they’re capable of.
EE gave continuous input to make the standards more student-centered—and our influence is evident in the final record.
Teacher prep providers have until July 2025 to implement the new standards.
