Episode 1 discusses: the new Role of Apprenticeships in Education. Educator apprenticeships are the hot new topic in the field as we battle a workforce crisis with the teacher shortage. In 2021, New York State launched the first teacher apprenticeship in the nation. Since then, over half the states have come on board, offering their own teacher apprenticeship programs, some through their state apprenticeship agencies and some through the federal office of apprenticeship. Despite this, people rarely looked at teacher preparation through the lens of workforce development or apprenticeships, although they have proven throughout the centuries to be a great training model to develop a well-prepared, highly-skilled workforce.
