Leveraging Apprenticeships to Rebuild the Educator Workforce: Lessons from Del.

Join NASBE on March 3 at 3:00 pm ET for a conversation on how state boards of education can strengthen the educator workforce through innovative pathways. Keeley Powell Delaware’s associate secretary of education for educator excellence; Ann Hlabangana-Clay, education associate of educator equity and recruitment, and Katherine Burns, education associate of early engagement and teacher career ladders, will share how their state is leading the nation in postpandemic educator workforce growth. They will highlight Delaware’s stackable apprenticeship model, which includes registered paraprofessional and teacher apprenticeships that build toward a seamless, debt-free pathway culminating in a year-long teacher residency.
