Say NO to ABCTE Again

EMERGENCY ACTION NEEDED!

VOTE NO ON ABCTE AMENDMENT

On Tuesday an ABCTE amendment will be added to SB 481. This action will take place on the House Floor. Please contact your House member today or tomorrow morning and ask them to vote no on the ABCTE amendment.

ABCTE, the AnyBody Can Teach Everything program, allows unqualified people into our classrooms. The program has no GPA requirement, no formal recommendation required, no field observation or experience required, no student teaching experience required, no professional education coursework component, no portfolio requirement, and finally no residency year requirement.

This is an attack on teacher quality. Email your representatives today at
