        and deserving young persons who by virtue of the death of or 
        total disability of an eligible officer are not otherwise able 
        to afford the same; and
            (3) to allow such family members to attain the vocational 
        and educational status which such individual might normally 
        have aspired to and obtained had a parent not been killed or 
        disabled in the service of the country.

SEC. 2. BASIC ENTITLEMENT.

    (a) Benefits.--(1) Except as provided in subsection (b), an

        professional, or vocational objective. Such term also means any 
        curriculum of unit course or subjects pursued at an educational 
        institution which fulfill requirements for the attainment of 
        more than one predetermined and identified educational, 
        professional, or vocational objective if all the objectives

                completion of a course which is accredited by an agency 
                recognized to accredit specialized degree-level 
                programs. For the purpose of this section, the 
                accrediting agency must be one recognized by the

[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Teacher Center Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) There are not enough qualified teachers in the Nation's 
        classrooms, and an unprecedented number of teachers will retire 
        over the next 5 years. Over the next decade, the Nation will 
        need to bring 2,000,000 new teachers into public schools.
            (2) Too many teachers do not receive adequate preparation 
        for their jobs.
            (3) More than one-third of children in grades 7 through 12 
        are taught by a teacher who lacks both a college major and 
        certification in the subject being taught. Rates of ``out-of-
        field teaching'' are especially high in high-poverty schools.
            (4) Teacher turnover is a serious problem, particularly in 
        urban and rural areas. Over one-third of new teachers leave the 
        profession within their first 3 years of teaching, and 14 
        percent of new teachers leave the field within the first year. 
        After 5 years--the average time it takes for teachers to 
        maximize students' learning--half of all new teachers will have 
        exited the profession. Rates of teacher attrition are highest 
        in high-poverty schools. Between 2000 and 2001, 1 out of 5 
        teachers in the Nation's high-poverty schools either left to 
        teach in another school or dropped out of teaching altogether.
            (5) African-American, Latino, and low-income students are 
        much less likely than other students to have highly-qualified 
        teachers.
            (6) Research shows that individual teachers have a great 
        impact on how well their students learn. The most effective 
        teachers have been shown to be able to boost their pupils' 
        learning by a full grade level relative to students taught by 
        less effective teachers.
            (7) Only 16 States finance new teacher induction programs, 
        and fewer still require inductees to be matched with mentors 
        who teach the same subject.
            (8) Large-scale studies of effective professional 
        development have documented that student achievement and 
        teacher learning increases when professional development is 
        teacher-led, ongoing, and collaborative.
            (9) Research shows that the characteristics of successful 
        professional development include a focus on concrete classroom 
        applications and practice, and opportunities for teacher 
        observation, critique, reflection, group support, and 
        collaboration.
            (10) Data on school reform shows that teachers are 
        attracted to and continue to teach in academically challenged 
        schools when appropriate supports are in place to help them 
        succeed. Appropriate supports include high-quality induction 
        programs, job-embedded professional development, and small 
        classes which allow teachers to tailor instruction to meet the 
        needs of individual students.

SEC. 3. IMPROVING RETENTION OF AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR PUBLIC 
              ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS.

    (a) In General.--Title II of the Elementary and Secondary Education

Teacher Center Act of 2006 - Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to authorize the Secretary of Education to make grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) or consortiums of LEAs for the establishment and operation of new teacher centers or the support of existing centers.

Requires teacher centers established or supported with such funds to provide: (1) high-quality professional development to teachers that will enable them to help students improve their achievement and meet state academic standards; (2) teachers with information on developments in curricula, assessments, and educational research; and (3) training and support for new teachers. Lists other permissible uses of such funds by teacher centers. Conditions a center's receipt of such assistance on its operation under the supervision of a teacher center policy board, the majority of whose members must be representatives of, and selected by, the elementary and secondary school teachers to be served by the center.
