Become a teacher through fully-funded training - perfect 😊

Join us for the second edition of the "Seven Strategies for Successful Teacher Apprenticeships" webinar series! The series is intended for colleges of teacher education and other educational institutions that want to learn how they can expand delivery to non-traditional audiences and reduce common barriers experienced by working learners. In the second installment, we'll tackle questions such as how teacher apprentices with teaching experience become aware of PLA options, what needs to be done to improve access to PLA while maintaining rigorous standards, how EPPs can prevent the assessment process from becoming more laborious than the course and what faculty involvement in PLA looks like. 👉 Awarding Credit for Experience and Learning 📅 May 21, 12:30–1:15 p.m. EDT / 11:30 a.m.–12:15 p.m. CDT 📍 Online Webinar 💲No cost for educators Learn more about the series and register here: https://bit.ly/3x5cmjO #TeacherApprenticeships #Education #WebinarSeries #LearningAndDevelopment #GrowYourOwn

This recent update by Strada Education Foundation (https://lnkd.in/gwfWe9ZB) provides insight into the value of work based learning. As recently shared by the U.S. Department of Education, more than 51,000 adult learners are participating in work-based learning programs funded by WIOA, known as Integrated Education Training (IET). Strada's update focused on interns and apprenticeships, which also applies to the #CenterOfExcellenceInApprenticeships which is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor which the Coalition on Adult Basic Education participates in a leading advisory role. If there is one connection to be made here, it is that adult education is already doing this important work and working to bring it to scale to the millions of learners being served by adult education providers across the nation! #AdultEducation #Workforce #TalentPipeline #ROI #Apprenticeships #IET #BehindEveryEmployer
