Learning Made Real

A New Role: Districts as Employers

Episode Summary

Episode 2 Discusses the new thinking around school districts and regional Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) as they become the employer of teacher candidates as apprentices. This is a very different way of thinking about training teacher candidates for school districts and BOCES. Often we hear leadership say, “but I’ve never paid student teachers before, why now?” This episode looks at how an apprenticeship where you are being fully immersed in the building and the school community for a full year or two is fundamental for the success of a new teacher.
