Education Department Approves Nine More States Teacher-Equity Plans – Education Week

By Andrew Ujifusa

The U.S. Department of Education announced Wednesday that it has approved nine more states plans to ensure that all students, and low-income students in particular, have access to high-quality teachers.

The newly approved plans come from Idaho, Illinois, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, and Wyoming, and are states responses to the departments Excellent Educators for All Initiative, which began in 2014. The initiatives three parts include the creation of comprehensive teacher-equity plans, an “educator equity support network” to help support teachers in high-need schools, and equity profiles to help states identify gaps in access to high-quality teaching.
