Teacher Training Expansion Act of 2005 - Amends the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to authorize the Secretary of Education to give preference to certain entities in selecting recipients for specified IDEA grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements for technical assistance, model demonstration projects, information dissemination, and implementing activities supported by scientifically based research.
Allows such preference to be given to institutions of higher education (IHEs) that are: (1) educating regular education personnel to meet the needs of children with disabilities in integrated settings; (2) educating special education personnel to work in collaboration with regular educators in integrated settings; or (3) successfully recruiting and preparing individuals with disabilities and individuals from groups that are underrepresented in the profession for which the IHE is preparing individuals.
Allows such preference also to be given to local educational agencies, other public agencies, and private nonprofit organizations that provide training to regular education personnel to: (1) meet the needs of children with disabilities in integrated settings; or (2) work in collaboration with special education personnel in integrated settings.
