Producing videos like this for @CharlesButtFdn is an honor and joy. Watch to learn more about one of our key initiatives and see some of my incredible colleagues in action.

[Charles Butt Foundation @CharlesButtFdn]

We believe every student, in every Texas classroom, must have an effective teacher every year. In 2017, we launched the Raising Texas Teachers initiative in an effort to make that goal a reality.

Raising Texas Teachers is a three-pronged teacher workforce strategy that aims to: diversify and deepen the talent pool through the Charles Butt Scholarship for Aspiring Teachers, raise the quality of teacher preparation statewide through University Partnerships, and elevate the status of the teaching profession through a state-wide campaign.

It’s not enough to incentivize more young people to enter the field of teaching, but is essential to change the public perception of the profession to ensure it is elevated to a level of respect and admiration that is deserving of a career that requires such high skills.

In our latest blog and video, we share more about this Texas-sized initiative that’s changing individuals, teams, and the teaching profession across the state. Learn more: https://t.co/dqE9qjxE41
