So proud of the new Deans for Impact (DFI) publication, THE CONTENT OF THINKING. We look at 3 things that #teacherprep programs can do to ensure beginning teachers challenge ALL students with ambitious content and rigorous instructional tasks. Check it out: deansforimpact.org/content-of-thi…

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. Deans for Impact (DFI) is excited to support this legislation!

Join the stellar team at Deans for Impact (DFI). We're looking for a Program Manager with expertise in scientifically-grounded reading instruction. Learn more: deansforimpact.org/about-us/caree…


Looking forward this morning to hearing Patrick Steck discuss the opportunities for preparing teachers through apprenticeship programs at #AACTE2023! Deans for Impact (DFI)

“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.” Patrick Steck on centering quality in teacher prep apprenticeships at #AACTE2023 Deans for Impact (DFI)

“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.” Deans for Impact (DFI) Impact Academy fellow and @APSUEdDean Prentice Chandler #AACTE2023

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 Deans for Impact (DFI)'s new policy brief!

📣: 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. Read the announcement: deansforimpact.org/impact-academy…

Excited to be in DC with the incredible Patrick 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.


“It truly felt like I was being invested in while I was investing in my school and my community” - Zully Sanchez at U.S. Department of Education Proud to partner with EPPs like Dallas College creating apprenticeship programs that make pathways into teaching accessible for people like Zully


The National Guideline Standards announced today by U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Labor 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

Preparing and supporting teachers well requires collaborating across sector and organization borders. Working with U.S. Department of Education U.S. Department of Labor AACTE National Center for Grow Your Own` Pathways Alliance InnovateEDU on the creation of the National Guideline Standards is inspiring proof that it’s possible!
