 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2628

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 22, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. LIU -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to culturally responsive
 teaching

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative finding. The legislature finds and declares
 2 that:
 3 1. Culture is essential to learning;
 4 2. Culture plays a role not only in communicating and receiving infor-
 5 mation, but also in shaping the thinking process of groups and individ-
 6 uals;
 7 3. A pedagogy that acknowledges, responds to, and celebrates fundamen-
 8 tal cultures offers full, equitable access to education for pupils from
 9 all cultures;
 10 4. Culturally responsive teaching is a major civilizing influence on
 11 the development of a humane, responsible and informed citizenry, able to
 12 adjust to and grow in a rapidly changing world. Culturally responsive
 13 teaching can substantiate a claim to the prevention of human and social
 14 costs to the state. Culturally responsive teaching develops the social
 15 consciousness of students to better handle the world of prejudice and
 16 racism. Culturally responsive teaching provides students with the back-
 17 ground in social studies and humanities so that they will function
 18 successfully and tolerantly in a participatory democracy and a multicul-
 19 tural nation and world. Culturally responsive teaching incorporates
 20 multicultural information, books, and other educational resources; and
 21 5. It is recognized that students in public elementary and secondary
 22 schools can only reach the levels of performance expected under the
 23 provisions of this part with parental participation in the education
 24 process. It is therefore, the policy of this state to provide culturally
 25 responsive services for young children and their families. Culturally

 S. 2628 2

 1 responsive services for young children and their families should reflect
 2 the importance of integration and diversity to the maximum extent possi-
 3 ble in regard to characteristics such as race, economics, sex, creed,
 4 capability and cultural differences. Services should be designed to
 5 support and strengthen the family and be planned in consideration of
 6 existing family values, with the primary concern being the welfare of
 7 the child.
 8 § 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 3039 to read
 9 as follows:
 10 § 3039. Professional development in culturally responsive instruction
 11 which focuses on understanding and responding to the diverse experiences
 12 of students and parents, developing culturally responsive lesson plans,
 13 and undoing implicit bias. 1. The department shall establish at least
 14 four professional development programs in culturally responsive instruc-
 15 tion annually, and provide access to those sessions on its website.
 16 2. Each superintendent of a school district shall develop, and present
 17 to the local board of education for adoption, an accountability plan
 18 ensuring that the district is complying with culturally responsive
 19 instruction requirements established by the department. The accountabil-
 20 ity plan shall include the amount of culturally responsive teaching
 21 professional development instruction offered by the district, the number
 22 of teacher participants, and a teacher evaluation survey
