So many great partnerships with @DrakeUniversity, sometimes it's hard to keep up! Learn about Drake's new Teacher Intern Program, an opportunity to earn both a teacher license and Master's degree, and begin a new career in education. https://t.co/iWSfATYB5b
Super excited to launch this program! It's an accelerated pathway to teaching and a master's degree with one year of part-time coursework followed by a paid internship. Check it out here: https://t.co/dewk85hu1s
Awesome morning hosting 60+ @DMschools middle schoolers in the Dream to Teach program. Despite the challenges facing the profession, our future is bright! And a huge thank you to the teachers inspiring, encouraging, and supporting their future colleagues!
Drake University is ranked among the top 100 best colleges in the U.S. by the @WSJ and recognized by the @nytimes as a top college for economic diversity!
Zoey Mahoney's throw-in goal in @DrakeWSoccer's 2-1 win over UNI yesterday was unbelievable, but don't take our word for it...

More than a dozen local orgs joined the 3rd annual @DrakeUniversity School of Education Community Partners Day. Great opportunity for our students to connect with those making DSM a great place to live. Huge thanks to @DMschools supt. Dr. Ian Roberts for joining!
If you know Wanda Everage, a long time leader @DSMRoosevelt & @DrakeUniversity, you know she’s a treasure - kind, funny and inspiring! So glad she was able to share her wisdom with students this week!
Exciting week ahead @DrakeUniversity School of Education Wanda Everage Foundations of Success Conference! Outstanding student panelists sharing their secrets to success with our @DMschools participants.
Excellent presentation by Grace and Catherine, @DrakeUniversity School of Education students, on their summer undergrad research fellowship under the mentorship of @jerridkruse. Another example of our outstanding students, faculty and learning opportunities!
Tomorrow marks 10th anniversary of signing of HF 215. Shout out to the thousands of IA teacher leaders supported by this law's funding over the past decade. Passed 40-10 in the senate and 95-0 in the House after 4 months of debate and was signed by Gov Branstad at DSM North HS.
I can’t imagine a better location for a state track meet than the blue oval @DrakeUniversity! Beautiful day for thousands of students and their families from across Iowa to be on campus. #iahstrk
What an inspiring day! We were thrilled to host 240 high school students from across Iowa @DrakeUniversity for the @latinosinacti0n youth leadership conference. Jam packed day of learning, leadership, and community. @drakepresident
Incredibly impressed by the @NoBoBIG eighth graders’ presentation @IowaSTEM advisory. There is no limit to what students can accomplish when given the opportunity and support. @OkobojiSchools
Important new research. Iowa has the nation's second largest superintendent gender gap. Our supt. program at Drake is ~50/50 male/female (which is great!) but as this study shows, the issue is deeper. In Iowa, 76% of teachers are female but only 44% of principals & 15% of supts.
the national, longitudinal superintendent dataset itself has received a bit of attention…
but here I talk about how the dataset came about & the bigger picture of why it matters @educationweek

While I didn’t write the headline to my guest essay, I know from 25 years in and around classrooms that this is a fundamental truth – supportive educators help kids thrive. https://t.co/zbU4k4Biht
