In Arkansas we have a few different options depending on where you are in your career. If you are a novice teacher, part of the licensing process includes taking a praxis exam just on the SoR.
Several years ago, current teachers had summer RISE PD which is SoR but AR specific and then we had to be observed in the classroom for it to count our evaluation. Every teacher has to be “signed off” or enter an improvement plan specifically focused on SoR.

In KY current teachers have the option to complete Letrs. I am taking it and my district is paying me upon completion. They are piloting a SOR praxis with the aspiring educators and they do have to take it but at this point they don’t have to pass to certify.

We have to complete LETRS training. It has been beneficial even though I am a Math interventionist so I don’t teach reading (specifically that is as we are all reading teachers). That’s here in South Carolina!

In PA, we need 6 hours (may not be the exact number) of science of reading training every 3 years. New mandate. K-4 teachers in my district are doing LETRS training over a 2 year time period.

In Michigan LETRS training is tied to a lot of money, but it is not mandated. For example, if an entire school or district has all of their teachers complete the training then the district/school gets a massive amount of money. It has to be 100% of the educators in order to receive the grant.

Colorado required the same Science of Reading classes. It took forever and we were not compensated outside of being able to continue our employment.
