From the Classroom to Reality

There are 3.8 million public school teachers. 266,000 are teachers with less than 3 years of experience in the classroom. Of the 266,000, there are 152,000 provisionally licensed, 38,000 with special or emergency waivers, and 76,000 with no certification at all. Do you know what all of these teachers have in common? 

There are 2,637 4-year degree granting institutions that have teacher education programs, yet, school districts across the nation are hiring more provisionally licensed teachers who are typically making a career change and they start teaching with less training than a person who was an education major in college. 

Why am I here? I am here to train and develop aspiring teachers who want to become effective classroom instructors, no matter the grade level from Kindergarten-University. Using the 5-Part classroom instructional method paired with a “can and will do” mindset, you can guarantee high student engagement and inter- and intradisciplinary advanced learning. Who needs this the most? Teacher education programs and educators who want to reach students, so that they can reach their full potential. Educators who recognize that there is a need to develop student-centered instruction with an equity mindset.
