- Requirements for inclusive instruction across curriculum and classroom practice.
- Standards for instructional materials (textbooks, digital resources, and other media) to be inclusive—reflecting diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities; ensuring accuracy and age-appropriateness; avoiding stereotypes and discriminatory content.
- Teacher professional development or training focused on inclusive teaching practices and inclusive materials.
- Accessibility and accommodations to support diverse learners (e.g., students with disabilities, English language learners).
- Compliance mechanisms, reporting, and potential enforcement provisions for districts or schools.
- Definitions clarifying terms such as “inclusive instruction” and “inclusive materials.”
