INDIANAPOLIS — A sea of red filled a conference room in the Government Center on Wednesday. Teachers were raising concerns over an 80-hour training requirement laid out by the state.
Back in 2023, the Indiana General Assembly passed legislation that requires schools to teach the science of reading. They are trying to improve reading scores in the state. "I teach seventh grade math, I have nothing to do with literacy endorsement. I have to take my own time in the summer to complete 80 hours of course work and also take the praxis test," Brandon Stagnolia, seventh grade math teacher in Austin, Indiana, said.Teachers like Stagnolia says this requirement won’t make him a better educator, especially since the majority of the time, teachers are expected to do the training in their own free time.
"It's actually going to take time away from me professionally, spending time lesson planning, creating strategies for math,” Stagnolia said.
