For the purposes of this section, training in a scientifically research-based math program includes providing explicit and systematic instruction in real-world problem-solving skills, procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, and productive dispositions, and implementing instructional strategies that research has shown to be successful in improving mathematics achievement among students with learning difficulties in math.
Beginning with students entering a teacher education program accredited by the Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability in the 2026-2027 academic year, completion of training required by this paragraph shall lead to a micro-credential in mathematics, which shall be reflected on teaching certificates awarded to such individuals; and
2. Support teacher education programs accredited by the Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability in developing and implementing a micro-credential in mathematics for certified teachers employed by school districts and charter schools in this state.
