This season we will be investigating the key issues taking place in Rhode Island education as well as delving into the work being done by the Teach Plus Fellows along side the Rhode Island Department of Education.
In Episode 2, we delve into the issue of recruiting and retaining teachers of color in Rhode Island. We will first hear from Kristen Beland - 4th grade teacher at the Suzanne M. Henseler Quidnessett Elementary School in North Kingstown, RI - about the need for better teacher training in preservice programs. Next, Clayton Ross - Education Specialist for the Rhode Island Department of Education - shares the changes in teacher training regulations as Rhode Island moves towards a residency model of teacher preparation. Finally, Jeannine Dingus-Easton - Dean, Feinstein School of Education and Human Development at Rhode Island College - gives more perspective to the issue and talks about the recent changes to the teacher preparation program at Rhode Island College.
Join us for new episodes every Friday as we delve into issues such as Recruiting and Retaining Teachers of Color, Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Curriculum, Multilingual Learner Education, Teacher Pre-Service Education, and the future of education in Rhode Island. The Teach Plus Podcast is produced by Senior Policy Fellow - Raymond Steinmetz (@blended_math).
The mission of Teach Plus is to empower excellent, experienced, and diverse teachers to take leadership over key policy and practice issues that advance equity, opportunity, and student success. Teach Plus believes that all students should have the opportunity to achieve their potential in an education system defined by its commitment to equity, its responsiveness to individual needs, and its ability to prepare students for postsecondary success. Teach Plus believes that when we invest in developing our most talented teachers into teacher leaders who are well-informed, persuasive, and prepared to lead, they have deep leverage in advancing equity for students, especially for students of color, low-income students, and those from underserved communities.
