Thank you @RepSpanberger for your relentless support! Students deserve amazing teachers and leaders. Your commitment to preparing and supporting future and current teachers and leaders will help create the educational outcomes that students deserve.

At Dale City Elementary School, I saw how @VCUSOE's @TeachRTR partnership is setting future educators up for success in Virginia classrooms.

I'm working to make sure investments in teacher and administrator residency programs exist across our country.

I'm leading a bipartisan bill to help school divisions recruit, train, and retain educators and school administrators.

Because helping educators-in-training get hands-on experience in the classroom as they earn their degree is a proven way to grow a strong education workforce.
