for a landscape scan and analysis of teacher pre-service education programs and the teaching workforce
The University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education partners with schools, universities, and communities to expand educational access – especially for those underserved by society. In the wake of the pandemic, the teaching profession is facing a profound set of challenges in both recruiting and retaining teachers. Given the crucial role of teachers in supporting student academic and social-emotional development, efforts to rethink how we best recruit, prepare, and retain public school teachers are of paramount importance. This grant will support research to provide a landscape analysis of the current state of the teaching profession with the goal of formulating recommendations around preparing, recruiting, and retaining teachers who can empower and equip each and every student to reach their full potential and contribute to our diverse, multiracial society.
