3.10 	Sec. 3. [120B.117] INCREASING THE PERCENTAGE OF TEACHERS OF COLOR 
3.11 	AND AMERICAN INDIAN TEACHERS IN MINNESOTA.
3.12 		Subdivision 1.Purpose. This section sets short-term and long-term state goals for 
3.13 	increasing the percentage of teachers of color and American Indian teachers in Minnesota, 
3.14 	and for ensuring all students have equitable access to effective and racially and ethnically 
3.15 	diverse teachers who reflect the diversity of students. The goals and report required under 
3.16 	this section are also important for meeting state goals for the world's best workforce under 
3.17 	section 120B.11, achievement and integration under section 124D.861, and higher education 
3.18 	attainment under section 135A.012, all of which have been established to close persistent 
3.19 	opportunity and achievement gaps that limit students' success in school and life and impede 
3.20 	the state's economic growth.
3.21 		Subd. 2.Equitable access to racially and ethnically diverse teachers. The percentage 
3.22 	of teachers who are of color or American Indian in Minnesota should increase at least two 
3.23 	percentage points per year to have a teaching workforce that more closely reflects the state's 
3.24 	increasingly diverse student population and ensure all students have equitable access to 
3.25 	effective and diverse teachers by 2040.
3.26 		Subd. 3.Rights not created. The attainment goal in this section is not to the exclusion 
3.27 	of any other goals and does not confer a right or create a claim for any person.
3.28 		Subd. 4.Reporting. (a) Beginning in 2020 and every even-numbered year thereafter, 
3.29 	the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board must collaborate with the 
3.30 	Department of Education and the Office of Higher Education to publish a summary report 
3.31 	of the aggregate outcomes and effectiveness of each of the programs they administer and 
3.32 	any other programs receiving state appropriations that have or include an explicit purpose 
3.33 	of increasing the racial and ethnic diversity of the state's teacher workforce to more closely 
3.34 	reflect the diversity of students. The board must submit the report to the chairs and ranking 
4.1 	minority members of the legislative committees having jurisdiction over kindergarten 
4.2 	through grade 12 education. The board must submit the report in accordance with section 
4.3 	3.195.
4.4 	(b) The report must include programs under sections 122A.2451, 122A.63, 122A.635,

4.6 	with any other programs or initiatives that receive state appropriations to address the shortage 
4.7 	of teachers of color and American Indian teachers. The board must report on the effectiveness 
4.8 	of state-funded programs to increase the recruitment, preparation, licensing, hiring, and 
4.9 	retention of racially and ethnically diverse teachers and the state's progress toward meeting 
4.10 	or exceeding the goals of this section. The report must also include recommendations for 
4.11 	state policy and funding needed to achieve the goals of this section, as well as plans for 
4.12 	sharing the report and activities of grant recipients, and opportunities among grant recipients 
4.13 	of various programs to share effective practices with each other. The 2020 report must 
4.14 	include a recommendation of whether a state advisory council should be established to 
4.15 	address the shortage of racially and ethnically diverse teachers and what the composition 
4.16 	and charge of such an advisory council would be if established.
4.17 	(c) The board must consult with the state Indian Affairs Council under section 3.922 
4.18 	and ethnic councils under section 15.0145 along with other community and stakeholder 
4.19 	groups, including secondary school students and teacher candidates who are of color or 
4.20 	American Indian, in developing the report. By November 1 of each even-numbered year, 
4.21 	the board must submit the report to the chairs and ranking minority members of the legislative 
4.22 	committees with jurisdiction over education and higher education policy and finance. The 
4.23 	report must be submitted in accordance with section 3.195 and available to the public on 
4.24 	the board's website.

4.30 	secondary, or special education programs. Candidates may obtain a Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 
4.31 	3 license to provide direct instruction to pupils in elementary, secondary, or special education 
4.32 	programs if candidates meet the other requirements in section 122A.181, 122A.182, or 
4.33 	122A.183, respectively.
5.1 	(b) The board must adopt rules requiring candidates for Tier 3 and Tier 4 licenses to 
5.2 	pass an examination of general pedagogical knowledge and examinations of licensure field

5.8 	and understanding of the foundations of reading development, development of reading 
5.9 	comprehension and reading assessment and instruction, and the ability to integrate that 
5.10 	knowledge and understanding into instruction strategies under section 122A.06, subdivision 
5.11 	4.
5.12 	(d) All testing centers in the state must provide monthly opportunities for untimed 
5.13 	content, pedagogy, and skills examinations and these opportunities must be advertised on

5.17 	and free, comprehensive study guides on the test registration website; making content and 
5.18 	pedagogy exams available in languages other than English for teachers seeking licensure 
5.19 	to teach in language immersion programs; and providing free, detailed exam results analysis 
5.20 	by test objective to assist candidates who do not pass an exam in identifying areas for 
5.21 	improvement. Any candidate who has not passed a required exam after two attempts must 
5.22 	be allowed to retake the exam, including new versions of the exam, without being charged 
5.23 	an additional fee.
5.24 	(d) (e) The requirement to pass a board-adopted reading, writing, and mathematics skills 
5.25 	examination does not apply to nonnative English speakers, as verified by qualified Minnesota 
5.26 	school district personnel or Minnesota higher education faculty, who, after meeting the

9.12 	Plan components may include: innovative and integrated prekindergarten through grade 12 
9.13 	learning environments that offer students school enrollment choices; family engagement 
9.14 	initiatives that involve families in their students' academic life and success; professional 
9.15 	development opportunities for teachers and administrators focused on improving the academic 
9.16 	achievement of all students, including teachers and administrators who are members of

9.18 	or school and who reflect the diversity of students under section 120B.35, subdivision 3, 
9.19 	paragraph (b), clause (2), who are enrolled in the district or school; increased programmatic 
9.20 	opportunities and effective and more diverse instructors focused on rigor and college and

10.19 	improving the academic achievement of all students, including knowledge, skills, and

10.24 	represented in the student population to strengthen relationships with all students, families, 
10.25 	and other members of the community;
10.26 	(6) examination of academic and discipline data, institutional policies and practices that 
10.27 	result in opportunity and achievement disparities between racial and ethnic groups, and 
10.28 	changes that increase access, meaningful participation, representation, and positive outcomes
