Educators for America Act

This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to update the requirements for teaching residency programs. Specifically, it modifies Section 202(e)(2)(B)(ii) concerning the selection of eligible individuals for participation in these programs. The legislation revises the language for establishing selection criteria, ensuring a structured approach to participant recruitment. A significant new provision mandates that these programs must prioritize the recruitment and selection of individuals underrepresented in the teaching profession . This explicitly includes efforts to increase the representation of men within the teaching workforce.
