Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signs a new law that makes “science of reading” literacy training mandatory for elementary school teachers. The requirement applies to teachers in Michigan’s elementary grades and takes effect over time, with compliance expected by the 2031–2032 school year. The new measure requires participating educators to complete specified literacy training aligned with the “science of reading” approach. Multiple reports describe the law as part of an effort to standardize literacy instruction and professional development for teachers. The outlets do not describe additional details in the provided excerpts, such as the specific training providers, the exact curriculum content, enforcement mechanisms, or funding. Overall, both sources characterize the legislation as a statewide mandate, establishing a clear deadline for teachers to complete the training by the end of the 2031–2032 school year. The reports focus on the governor’s action and the timeline for teacher participation, with no competing figures or outcomes cited in the material supplied.
