Louisiana Implementing Wide-Ranging Solutions to Eliminate Classroom Distractions for Teachers

The Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) approved new policies based on recommendations from State Superintendent of Education Dr. Cade Brumley’s Let Teachers Teach workgroup. The policies, set to take effect before the end of the school year, will significantly reduce the number of training teachers are required to repeat every year, leading to tighter student discipline, and more freedom over lesson planning. The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) collaborated with multiple stakeholders in the development of the policies. The LDOE and BESE have outlined actions around all 18 recommendations. These range from new state laws, policy changes, and guidance for local school systems.
