Strengthening the Educator Workforce Through the National RAP District Network

The National Registered Apprenticeship in Teaching District Network launched in early 2023 as a direct result of the growth of the state network created by the National Center for Grow Your Own to expand the use of registered apprenticeships to address teacher shortages and grow the educator workforce. The network's strength is in its diversity of participants from suburban, urban and rural districts ranging in size from under 5,000 students to the largest district in the nation with NYC Public Schools. Come and learn from district network participants (Saginaw ISD in Michigan, Ector County ISD in Texas and Appoquinimink School District in Delaware) about how they are approaching registered apprenticeships in teaching in their districts, their engagement with the network, and what their future plans are for this work. Thanks to AASA and AESA for co-hosting this event.
