Does this training fulfill Act 20’s K-3 teacher training requirement?
Does this training fulfill Act 20’s K-3 teacher training requirement?
No. Act 20 requires teachers to complete CERI-accredited coursework aligned with the science of reading. This training complements that work by supporting educators with implementation strategies and practical tools tailored to their existing curriculum or programs.

This Professional Development Series supports school districts in the implementation and sustainability of evidence-based literacy instruction, regardless of the chosen curriculum or program. It is not a statutory substitute for Act 20-compliant or CERI-accredited training. Rather, it complements state-mandated literacy initiatives by equipping educators with practical tools and strategies to apply what they’ve already learned in required training programs.
