@deansforimpact VP @p_steck describes how the National Guidelines Standards “set the floor for quality” for registered apprenticeships in teaching

@psteck poured countless hours into working with fellow @PthwaysAlliance working group co-chairs @AACTE and @NationalGYO to craft the National Guideline Standards for Registered Apprenticeships in Teaching. So awesome to see him get recognition for this incredible work!

[Valerie Sakimura @ValerieSakimura]

Preparing and supporting teachers well requires collaborating across sector and organization borders. Working with @usedgov @USDOL @AACTE @NationalGYO @PthwaysAlliance @InnovateEDUNYC on the creation of the National Guideline Standards is inspiring proof that it’s possible!

[Valerie Sakimura @ValerieSakimura]

The National Guideline Standards announced today by @usedgov and @USDOL will help ensure registered apprenticeships for teaching expand access to quality pathways into the profession, so that EVERY student can have teachers that see, honor, and foster their brilliance

“It truly felt like I was being invested in while I was investing in my school and my community” - Zully Sanchez at @usedgov

Proud to partner with EPPs like @dallascollegetx creating apprenticeship programs that make pathways into teaching accessible for people like Zully

Excited to be in DC with the incredible @p_steck. As someone said this morning, he has an incredible ability to see not just a piece of the elephant but how all the parts of the elephant (system) need to come together to get more well-prepared teachers in front of kids.

📣: We're excited to announce our 2023 Impact Academy fellows! This cohort of 24 #edprep leaders represents 25 states and DC, and their programs collectively prepare nearly 15,000 future #teachers, 45% of whom are people of color.

If you're trying to provide quality practice for aspiring teachers, while supporting student learning and lightening the load for classroom teachers: mobilize aspiring teachers as tutors. Ideas for how to sustain and scale this idea are in @deansforimpact's new policy brief!

[Deans for Impact (DFI) @deansforimpact]

NEW POLICY FRAMEWORK: Today we're releasing Mobilizing Aspiring Teachers as Tutors: Policy Solutions to Accelerate Student Learning & Strengthen Teacher Pipelines.
Read our recommendations for policy leaders to address key teaching & learning challenges. https://t.co/p27Wwm5lDV

“The narrative that nobody wants to be a teacher is misleading. When you take out all the barriers to becoming a teacher, people are lining up to teach.” @deansforimpact Impact Academy fellow and @APSUEdDean Prentice Chandler #AACTE2023

[Valerie Sakimura @ValerieSakimura]

“The charge of the Department of Labor is to increase the number of registered apprenticeships. The charge for us, the field of education, is to uphold the quality of our profession.” @p_steck on centering quality in teacher prep apprenticeships at #AACTE2023 @deansforimpact

[Valerie Sakimura @ValerieSakimura]

Looking forward this morning to hearing @p_steck discuss the opportunities for preparing teachers through apprenticeship programs at #AACTE2023! @deansforimpact

The pandemic has disrupted learning for millions of children. The bipartisan #PATHStoTutor Act would provide academic and social-emotional support by mobilizing future teachers as tutors for students in high-need schools. @deansforimpact is excited to support this legislation!
