HB22-1220 will:
- support teacher candidates by paying them for their student teaching work,
- remove financial barriers by paying for teacher exam fees, and
- expand pathways to licensure by allowing multiple ways to demonstrate competency.
Read more about HB22-1220 in this Colorado Sun article. We are proud to champion HB22-1220 because we see this policy as a pathway to increasing teacher diversity in Colorado. We know that removing financial barriers and increasing pathways to licensure will ensure a more diverse educator workforce, which is critical for all of Colorado’s students to experience just and supportive schools.
