Recently TEACH.org partnered with the U.S. Department of Education and The Hunt Institute to host convenings for state policy-makers to develop solutions to eliminate educator shortages. 25 states sent delegations to learn best practices for improving teacher recruitment and retention and to think big about how to eliminate educator shortages. Cross-sector teams from each state shared and learned about strategies to increase educator compensation, diversity, and access to affordable, high-quality educator preparation programs. The state delegations had dedicated working time to develop key strategies and action plans they could take to advance progress on challenges. Thank you to everyone who attended and brought forward ideas to help us move this important work forward.
Thank you for your leadership! The Western states’ convening in Albuquerque was quite valuable to our work in Washington state.
