House Bill 2424 amends the Education Code to require the State Board for Educator Certification to propose rules establishing a program to issue micro‑credentials in appropriate fields of study that fulfil continuing education requirements for educators. The bill requires the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to approve continuing education providers to offer micro‑credential courses and provides for the recording of a micro‑credential received by an educator. Implementation of a provision of this bill by TEA is mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
