Quality Educator Partnership Act

This bill would create two new offices in the U.S. Department of Education: an Office of Educator Workforce and an Office of Educational Technology and Digital Literacy. It would require the government to collect and publish yearly data on educator preparation programs, teacher licenses, vacancies, and retention. It would authorize $600 million for fiscal year 2027 and $1 billion for each of the next four years. The money would fund competitive grants to partnerships of colleges and high-need school districts to test new ways of preparing educators. It would also fund grants to states to plan and carry out changes to how educators are recruited, paid, supported, and kept in their jobs.
