The following 2018 General Assembly legislation impacts the Regulations Governing the Review and Approval of Education Programs in Virginia: HB1125 amends the Code of Virginia to expand the definition of education preparation program as follows: "Education preparation program" includes four-year bachelor's degree programs in teacher education. This bill is identical to SB 349. HB1265 requires each education preparation program offered by a public institution of higher education or private institution of higher education that leads to a degree, concentration, or certificate for reading specialists to include a program of coursework or other training in the identification of and the appropriate interventions, accommodations, and teaching techniques for students with dyslexia or a related disorder. The bill requires such programs to (i) include coursework in the constructs and pedagogy underlying remediation of reading, spelling, and writing and (ii) require reading specialists to demonstrate mastery of an evidence-based, structured literacy instructional approach that includes explicit, systematic, sequential, and cumulative instruction. This bill is identical to SB 368. The regulations need to be amended to include these requirements.
