BEST NC has released a new report about teacher apprenticeship in North Carolina. Leaders of charter high schools may want to take a look.
The report focuses on strengthening the pipeline of future teachers in the state, with a recommendation to develop a competitive grant program around establishing teacher apprenticeship programs.
Here’s the summary from BEST NC:
Research has consistently found that teachers are the single-most important in-school factor for student success. For those seeking policy solutions that will improve student achievement, there is nothing more vital than a teacher pipeline that recruits high-quality candidates, provides them with opportunities to learn and grow in the profession, and retains them over time as their expertise and effectiveness increases.
BEST NC’s latest policy brief examines the past, present, and possible future of teacher apprenticeship, the benefits and barriers this initiative presents for North Carolina’s current teacher recruitment strategy, and our recommendations for future analysis and implementation.
