According to the Louisiana Department of Education, state education officials said these resources will help teachers better address student needs through “specialized training, classroom implementation support, and evidence-based instructional practices.”

Louisiana State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley stated, “Outside of parents, nothing has a greater impact on student outcomes than the classroom teacher. This investment helps ensure more teachers have the tools and training needed to meet the needs of every student.”

Officials added that the funding is intended to support the implementation of instructional programs that enable students requiring additional support to succeed.

Tools supporting this initiative will include assistive technology, executive function and communication support, as well as funding for scholarships, substitute teachers, and professional training partners.
