DeansforImpact is best professional org I have ever been involved in. Got to work with Nancy at Purdue, along with other great deans, making positive change in teacher prep focused on equity.
Impact Academy is a yearlong fellowship for leaders of educator-preparation programs. One of the best parts of the program is forming relationships with other deans, @PurdueNancyMM explains. #teacherprep#ImpactAcademy#edleaders
Dozens of leaders in educator preparation sent a letter to Congress expressing support for the #PATHStoTutor Act. Future teachers can play a key role in the country’s educational recovery from the pandemic. https://t.co/zJQSV3Wwz8
